When I am flipping Largs panels, I always clamp a piece of timber across the joint, that way it can't flex at the joint. I also use this method to carry long panels to the boat, again it makes sure there is no stress on the joint.

This is particularly helpfull when you work on your own.

Hope this helps,
Cheers
Justin

Thanks for the tip Justin. Live and learn I guess. The joint looks ok I think. After the other side cured I flipped it back to look closer at it. I should have looked closer at it instead of taping the other side right away. I'm prolly going to take dougsters advice for piece of mind and grind it and re-tape. Thanks

Heres some pics. I'm just a rookie so I'm not sure. It looks like it might have separated at the bottom of the pic. Is a re-do in order here?

The decks and seat top are screwed down and got the rubrail on the port side. Need more clamps...

Finished up the rubrail today. Tomorrow or Saturday I hope to flip it and tape and/or stitch on the bottom.

Thanks Justin.

I got the bottom taped and stitched.

I have about a half inch gap at the bow on the starboard side at the frame. I cant pull it in. Is it a big deal or can I fill it with glue?

If it's fair, fill the gap with putty: when you build the fillets, push the putty in there.
