Glueing the deck and reinforcing the seams

Glueing the deck seams went much better this time.  After the initial straight epoxy fill, I found that thickened epoxy similar to thick chocolate syrup filled the seams well.  It did not want to run and also soaked into the seams that needed it.  It will also be easy to sand later.

After they dried I took the top off and flipped it over to run a piece of fiberglass tape along each seam and fillet the seams along the cockpit.  The fillets will ensure a smooth fit when the cockpit is glassed on the underside.  

Let it dry for a couple of hours and then I set it back on the hull to dry in the correct shape.  It will rest for the weekend and then on Monday I plan to fiberglass the underside of the cockpit.
