Joining the Hull and the Deck

Merging the top and bottom of the kayak was interesting. I started from the bow and worked back to the stern. I used a good packing tape with fibers to hold it together. I was not able to get the stern end out far enough to match, but was able to plane down the deck to meet after I glassed the inside seam. Rolling the fiberglass cloth that was pre-rolled with the epoxy mix was not too bad until the very end of the kayak, then the fibers kept attaching to the brush-on-a-stick.
