Are you going to fiber glass this?

Great question Cliff, I didn't see anywhere in parts 1 thru 3 if they are intending to fiberglass it or not? I am under the impression that wood kayaks get a clear coating of some sorts rather then fiberglass. I am not sure though.

Well, I don't know what to call that construction method. Stitch with twisted wire  in drilled holes and glue?    I think it's going to be fiber glassed on the inside with an epoxy shot in the joints like old school rope and pitch in a great boat.  I'm also  certain that the hull and deck will be glassed outside as well. 

Thin wood joined edge to edge like that can't maintain a tight  seam without more.
