Back with more progress on my CLC Wood Duck 12' kayak! Today we need to get the top attached, then fiberglass the outside. After that it's final shaping and epoxy, then apply TotalBoat Lust varnish on the outside and attach the accessories.

| Graduate still topless |
 |
| Ready to for the last stitch & glue operation |
 |
| Stitched |
 |
| Top is glued on, time to fiberglass the bottom |
 |
| Amazing how clear the cloth gets when you apply the epoxy |
 |
| Take special care to overlap the ends |
 |
| Yes I cut used chopsticks in half and use them to stir my epoxy in used yogurt cups |
 |
| Trim the excess fiberglass cloth after the epoxy dries |
 |
| Glass the top without cutting out holes for the hatch & cockpit |
I trimmed the excess cloth after the epoxy dried, That did actually create some overlap where the top meets the hull, and that joint became watertight after applying some thickened epoxy anyway. After it was trimmed, this baby was ready for finishing.
