Sam Devlin says pull them out. Many other boatbuilders don't care and just
cut them and leave them inside the hull. Have a look at
http://www.clcboats.com/forum/bbs.pl forum - lot of great advices there.
When building my S&G rowing shell I opted for "tabbing" method that involves
filleting in 2 passes and pulling out the stiches inbetween. Either way
(stiches in or out) the holes remain visible under a clear finish. Hope that
helps.

Hello.
I have a question about stitch and glue.
I have been reading about it for some time now but I donīt understand one
thing.
After you have stiched the panels.

And then glued and glassed everything.
Do you then take the stitches out? Because they will be visible under the
glass.
Or donīt they? And if you are going to sand it then you will sand off the
glass
from top of them.
