Started gluing...
Did stuff a heap of glue inside a washed out "no more gaps" tube and used the caulking gun with great effect... but had to work very quickly as it heated up rapidly made for applying the glue to the inside of the boat really quick and easy!!

The sandbags are so good for that work, and they just sit how you want them. Keep going it’s a nice looking little hull.

I have been trying to work out the best way to work the fibre glass roll so it easy to roll out and cut for the up coming glassing jobs.
I came up with this. My work bench is an old dining table and the roll fits perfectly between the legs. a few off cuts and screws later and its mounted easily.
