Made a bit of progress this weekend. It rained every day last week so it has been slow going. I dont like kicking resin when it is so humid. Anyway, I managed to get the rear cap back on the boat and started glassing it back together. I ground a one inch taper on each piece and then used 2" strips of cloth the join it back together. I also glassed the rear of the seem on the back side of the liner as well (what a pain). Once the glass was cured I sanded it down and trued it up with the line sander then faired it out with some fairing compound. Slicked it down and feathered it in so you could not feel any of the seem. Once I got it close I primed it with the interlux white prime coat. I will do a final fair over the whole boat once the glass work is done before the final prime coat and paint.
