Glassing bench corners

I rarely do photos of my work in progress, but today I needed to rest my back from leaning in, so had a photo break. Here I'm getting ready to put 1.5-oz glass mat strips on the inside bottom corners of the benches. (The benches added to the build will further strengthen the chine and bottom corners, and stiffen the boat so it will be impossible to twist it.) The top corners of the benches, inner and outer, are already done.


I'm sealing the plywood with resin as I go, by using up any leftover mixed batches on any untreated surfaces.

To make it easier to reach in, the boat is held at an angle on its bilge plank by that 2x2 clamped to the other side.
