I'm going to bet every boat with a power wedge has had a caulk gun hung on it just like that. And they have their shoes on in the boat.

Now you'll know who to blame when you find a loose screw in the bilge.

^^^^ I'm sure you are right, but drilling those holes is an awful mess and those guys have to wear full on suits, goggles, and respirators all day long. During the hot summer, I bet they get mighty uncomfortable.

Only people wearing respirators are spraying gel. Even the people in lamination with chop guns aren't wearing respirators. When the hull is "done" and its flipped on its side they have jigs that they put on and knock out all the holes in no time. Same for gas, cleats, bilge and ballast holes.

^^^ Not what I saw. Lots of fine fiberglass dust in the air when drilling those holes. It's an awful mess. The area they do the drilling is totally isolated from the rest of the factory. I should have said face masks instead of respirators.
