Funny... when I was laying down the first two strips on my NH hull, I accidentally nicked my middle finger when doing the running bevel... didn't realize it until things felt "sticky".... anyway, if all else fails, I could ID my boat by the fingerprint or DNA from that bloody fingerprint on the inside of the left shear strip... I glassed over it as a reminder....
