Layer 2






Getting ready to start on the bottom.

sorry if this may be a stupid question but how do you cover up all the screws and washers? it looks like you have just sanded the sheets down?

[Captain Jay Kavanagh]

The get removed and the holes filled.

they are just the "clamps".

[MountainM]

I see your just using them to form the sheets then you start adding glass.

[Captain Jay Kavanagh]

There is epoxy glue between the layers, and between the first layer and the frame. The screws act as a bunch of little clamps untill the poxy sets.

Pretty Work!.....I know that I wouldn't know what to do without GripTight screws and washers!

Really a nice looking skiff!
