Lumps

This was really annoying. the lumps in the cloth are because I filled in any gaps where the stringers met the stations with epoxy, to make a better glue joint. The epoxy ran a bit and drips were on the bottom of the frame. I did not notice, until too late. These represent weak spots in the cloth as they will wear with rubbing. This is made worse by the white cloth not being as strong as the blue. I'll be putting a second "rub strip" layer along the length of the chines and keel
