Again I would suggest that this may be fine for you, with your
experience, but I still would not reccomend it to any first time
builder.

Its infinitely simpler than stripper, lapped strake, or plank on frame
techniques novices use after reading, say, Moore, Hill or Bheuler(?). I
can't imagine pumping goop as a challenge for novices at all. I dreamed it
up when building my first boat. When I posted it here other boatbuilders
reported filling voids in much the same way. Solving problems is one of
the fun things about building almost anything. I note in boatbuilding
books the authours can't resist describing the tools, jigs, and techniques
they dreamed up to solve problems.
