: Beautiful work, Dan.

: It looks like you joined the hull & deck with a wood strip (aka
: 'clamp'?) on the inside.
: Did you put glass tape over that?
: I'm looking for a way to avoid the fiberglass tape and epoxy
: manipulation on the inside join, and I'm thinking about just
: gluing the hull/deck together with a wood strip for alignment.

: I'd appreciate your thoughts/comments.

I use a partial sheer clamp on the ends that are difficult to reach, the middle where the hatches and the cockpit are, are fairly easy to tape on the inside. Works fine as long as there is good contact on the clamps and enough epoxy (thickened) is used. Glassed on the outside per the norm too.
