Re: Panga 22
Top and bottom sides were tuff work to bring true and were left with some gaps around and inch or so between the tops of the frames, we decided to leave it at that and choose hull fairness following other's builds over putting more stress on everything, we are happy with this as the hull's curve's look good, the only other thing we did was drop the transom slightly and added a 5mm spacer between frame G and the bottom side to make the hull more straight looking down the length of the hull from the transom, we had a slight dip around frame G, happy with the results and everything is looking good.

Im happy with my first taping efforts with only a minor blunder along the way with over wetting the first meter and had some runs ect, have learnt alot along the way and feeling confident about laying out the mat and the rest of the taping,
I read mention on here with a few people having dramas with bubbles getting stuck, what i have learned to counteract this is enough radius on edges with either round over's or fillets doesn't take much and fill in any deviation and smouth them out, other than that plenty of wetting out, patience with letting the reson soke in and using a stiffer bristle brush to poke into the white bubble working the brush in different directions to draw the resin into those tuff spots, just have to remember to move on the excess once sorted, that's where i went wrong in my first meter.
