I bet you are glad to have that glassing session in back of you. I assume you know there are easier ways to remove your forearm hair if needed

I look like I have mange lol.....but the glass started floating not wetting out i was burning through epoxy it was a diasaster. But after i figured out what was happening i used a spreader to flatten it out but have a bunch of spots to drill and fill. But its in the bilge, moving on

Sorry!!! Glad you figured it out!!! Jeff

So just threw frames and stringers in to see how it fit. It turned out pretty good. On frame D I noticed my gunnels are slightly off and the gap at bottom of the frame is noticably different. How to fix....can i cinch the bottom panel up somehow.
Thanks

In the pictures it looks like the frame is not quite centered. That could be part of the problem. Also with all the glass it is to be expected that you will need to trim the frames some to get them to fit. If the boat looked fair and straight before flipping I am not sure I would want to do much shape changing at this point.

No pictures but finally back at it. Just filling voids in my last glassing session and sanding. Having to take a few days off due to weather but hoping to have stringers tabbed in this week.
