On the outside I reinforced the deck/hull joining with a 100mm fiberglass band. I had already done the left side and I am now epoxying the right side.
This time I was VERY carefull when gluing the third name inlay in place...

02-04-2012: Bulkheads / Name inlay Part III
The bulkheads are now done with fiberglass and black epoxy on both sides. With a bit of violence I managed to put both bulkheads in place. Now they only needs to be gkued in place with some sealants.
After I sanded the old (damaged) name inlay away, I made a new one a glued this in place on the kayak bow. To hold it in place I wrapped it with nylon tape. The next morning when I unwrapped it - it was croocked. It was only like 3mm, but I knew I had to redo it. Otherwise I would only see the crooked angle every time i looked at the kayak. So I sanded the second name inlay off again and started to make a third one...

01-04-2012: Name inlay - Part II
I have now filled out the small gap between the deck and hull (if I could find any), sanded the joint.
When sanding I got impatient and used my orbital sander.....
Aaaaghh . @&#%!
I sanded the name inlay away.....
There is only one thing to do.... Sand the whole thing away and make a new name inlay.
