Slight setback

My bow-hull joint developed a crack when I was sanding the glue and I re-did it and reinforced the top and bottom to make her strong. I used a ss rod bent into an s and sank it into the bottom joint with a groove dremmeled in. I then glassed it too. The top I did with strips of abs and lots of epoxy and an abs patch on top and more epoxy. I think it'll be strong now.
