If you have a decent blow dryer with cold shot.... after you trim the edge of the hull... heat it a little... push it down... then cold shot it so it will stay :thumbup:

Another tip for taking care of the gap... add a little plasticard to whichever side requires it.. maybe creating a 90 degree tuck on the upper hull... and a little addition to the bottom ... so when the top seats... it will appear sealed .... sand it flush and you should be good :D

Nice job on the touch up :thumbup:

I know this is out of the usual ... and I don't want to sound critical... but your netting... when I look at it hanging over the nose of the hull... it makes me think of those bad tattoo coverups ...perhaps a piece of stained wood and some sandbags might be a better look ;)
