2 pages of 3" fiberglass tape are laid across each joint. They are offset by an inch to taper across the panel joint. Plastic is put between layers to keep it from sticking. The clamps provide a little pressure to keep it all flat.
There is a heat lamp hanging above this assembly as it is a little cold in the basement. I have on hand a gallon of West Resin and slow hardener. It just involves a little patience and keeping things warm for a few hours.
Net result was a strong sandable joint. Will be carefull not to sand too deeply as that would defeat the purpose. Just enough to "pretty it up" and leave a good surface to apply a light layer of fiberglass cloth to.
I plan on using strippers cloth on the inside to protect the surface, and going with a 6 oz cloth on the exterior. This worked well on the Work Skiff and left me with an easily maintained surface that is strong and durable. I plan on trout fishing from this boat, so a surface that cleans well is essential.
