Thanks for the tips guys,
I thought about cuttin the cloth into 12" stips and use it like wide tape, but when I unrolled it and lay it out in the hull it seemed to conform well so I decided "What the heck" and got stuck into it.
Once I started to wet out however, the stuff seemed to take on a mind of it own.
The coolest it has been getting here lately is around 85f in the dead of night and I am finding about 15 minutes pot life, even using a large roller tray is about as much as I can hope for.
I went down the shed last night after my last post and scraped off the worst of the lumps and bumps and likewise feathered the edges of the cloth. Also wet out some smaller patches in the ends and applied a second filler coat to what was there.
Doesn't look so bad now. Got a long strip to put in on either side today (and lots of little patches)
Oh yeah, I also made a start on the gunwhales & spacers yesterday. Hope to fit the outer rail either today or tomorrow.
I propbably should leave it till I am feeling better. At least the fever has broken and today looks like it will be a little cooler. I am actually wearing a shirt. (first time in 4 days)
