Fiberglassing the Deck





I first layed wax paper down so that I would not get any epoxy on the hull. The way I stripped the deck in, with no shear strip at the bow and stern of the kayak may cause a problem because the curve is very tight. I worked with the epoxy and fiberglass a lot as it cured to try and get the glass to lay as tight as possible on the strong curves. All-in-all it looks pretty good, and after I join the deck and hull together, I will be running a 4" strip of glass over the joint on the outside and inside of the kayak. Tomorrow I will start to work on the combing.
