Hi Matt

To steam them, try and get a 44gal drum, even half a one. Stick your burners under it and boil up some water, when its boiling throw in some towels or blankets and boil them up again, then lay them on your hulls, you can pour some more boiling water on them as well.

I'm not sure what you mean by tent, if your thinking of steaming up the tent, like steaming up the bathroom, I don't think that would be good enough, you might need the more direct approach.

I used a old copper that I found out at the farm, designed to boil water with open fire underneath, worked well.

When setting your hull sides up for glassing the keel line, make sure the glass tape is accurately placed both inside and outside, this I think is very important. My thinking is if the inside keel tape is out further than the outside one, it would almost surely lead to breakage.
