1	page	note	noted by	examples
2	160	1/2" roundover on galley flat (see p. 259) can be done with router before gutter riser is installed.	jb
3	152	A fine tooth plywood blade for a trim saw quickly dulled on the fiberglass and epoxy. Use something more durable (carbide tips)	jb
4	43	Manual recommends putting tape on mold. This should be more than a recommendation - a requirement.	jb
5	118-150	Many builders have reported problems with the doors flexing and have recommended installing the door stiffeners and additional fiberglass on the interior of the doors before they are cut out.	jb	http://teardropforum.com/forums/topic/bobs-tips-and-tricks/#post-961, http://teardropforum.com/forums/topic/question-about-the-doors/
6	-85	Many builders have reported problems with the galley hatch flexing. Supplemental stiffeners and fiberglass on the interior must be installed before the galley flat is installed.	jb	http://teardropforum.com/forums/topic/galley-hatch/
7	-85	If any part of the shell is to be bleached, care must be taken to seal any interior holes and surface perimeter with epoxy to prevent bleach from penetrating and bleaching the inside surface (if it is to be left visible). If you are bleaching the exterior of the galley section, seal holes inside galley before you install galley flat.	jb
8	-100	Route 1/2" roundover on buttblock (p. 194) before attaching to bottom panel	jb
9	158	Cut hatch hole to the inside of the marked area to provide some extra support for hatch. When cut at the center line, the hatch is barely supported with less than 1/16" on each edge. See note for p. 176.	jb, Bob D.	http://teardropforum.com/forums/topic/bobs-tips-and-tricks/#post-965
10	176	Be careful to not remove too much material when beveling the edges of the hatch bezel. If you remove too much, it can make the bezel too small to rest stably around the hatch opening in the shell. See note for p. 158.	jb
11	226	Install shelf (p. 229) before installing door sills	Deepwoods	http://teardropforum.com/forums/topic/tip-install-the-cabin-shelf-before-the-door-sills/
12	229	Install shelf before flipping camper upright. This will make filet and fiberglass tape reinforcement easier.	jb
13		Install hinges before cutting out doors and galley hatch. "make couple of inches long cuts in the hinge areas, install hinges, to ensure best orientation and alignment, then finish cutting out the doors/hatch."	Daniel	http://teardropforum.com/forums/topic/what-would-you-do-different/#post-3713
14	general	a list and thread of tips and tricks	Bob D.	http://teardropforum.com/forums/topic/bobs-tips-and-tricks/
