Having carefully fitted all of the deck strips it is now necessary to remove them from the formwork so that the strips may be buttered up with epoxy. But before gluing them back it is time to remove the hull from the formwork too ...
I was expecting this to be difficult however, with a little tapping, the hull separated from the formwork easily. Phew!
Bill cleaning up the inside of the hull.
A joyous moment ... lifting up the hull to find that it is light weight. Back-of-the-envelope calculations of timber volume and density indicate a total kayak weight of 22kgs.
