Tabbing the hull

This might hurt a bit -- if youre a boat.  At least, I think it would hurt.  :)

We start with Frankenboat...


Then we mix up some delicious peanut butter... thats thickened epoxy.


Then you duck underneath the hull and paint epoxy into the seams between the stitches.  You have to make it thick or it drips down once you paint it in there.  And sometimes it still drips.  Look out!  Epoxy + skin is an unfortunate combination.  The picture below is from the "cockpit" area, between the cabin and the stern.  At the right side of the picture, youre looking at the transom, which is the back of the boat.
