This evening we finished off the floor panels and were happy that they all at least looked the same shape. Of course the thickened epoxy resin and glass tape will hide a lot of inexperience. Hopefully.The panels were laid out on the floor with the butt joins along a piece of scrap ply, with a plastic sheet in between to prevent any embarassing hull additions.
More scrap plywood lengths were placed underneath horizontally to try and keep the panels level at the joins.
At each butt joint, we used a length of 75mm wide plywood (again 6mm gauge) with bevelled edges. Thickened epoxy coated the underside of each one, with anything we could find to weight the joint down (we didn't want to use brass panel pins unless absolutely necessary).
