Water Fox progress
I managed to add a few more strips today. As you can see, I am building without staples. Lots of masking tape, clamps and jigs though.

I agree, it does make a good clamp but I have a few problems with clear packaging tape. I have to use a knife to cut it rather than just tearing off a piece as with masking tape. I then have to search for the end of the roll if I didn't keep it under control while cutting off a piece, the end of masking tape is a cinch to find. When removing the clear tape, if it tears, I have a hard time seeing and removing the remnants, with masking tape any little bit shows up easily.
I think I'll stick with masking tape. :rolling eyes

This stuff works good and has a cutter dispenser.

But I like blue masking tape for strip clamp down.

Wet wood
Today I sanded the hull and wet the wood to raise the grain between sandpaper grits.

The outer deck has been glassed and the bulkhead panel is glassed on one side. I have steam bent some laminations to form the cockpit coaming lip. The lip will be composed of 4 sections. One fore, one aft and two sides. Then they will be mitered to fit together and glued to the riser. In this pic I have epoxied 3 pieces together but they are not glued to the riser yet.

Varnish
Today I applied the first coat of varnish to the inner hull and deck.
