Next, I did the surface hollow for the modified Payton "scarf". Not a scarf but a way to keep things together when you butt join them. First, an angle grinder was used to make a slight hollow for a taped fiberglass and epoxy structural joint.
Then a taped epoxy and fiberglass joint is made in the hollow to join the two panels. In the photo below, a peel-ply layer has been applied to the generously epoxied joint. The peel ply will be removed a day later leaving a surface that will need little sanding.
This joint can now be faired into the surface of the boat. It will hold up better than a straight butt joint and should be slightly stronger as well.
