Looking forward to working in the downstairs workshop. I put a wide sawhorse under the panels being joined, put down a layer of plastic, and then primed with a coat of epoxy, then followed that with a slightly thickened batch of epoxy with silica added. A piece of mahogany weighed down with paint cans and water bottles will hold the panels while the epoxy sets up. 
Outside in the garage, I finished laying out the forward bottom panel. Will cut tomorrow and splice into the other bottom panels. Scarf will be 2" for an 8:1 scarf. Pretty simple. tough part will be cleaning the garage to make the second scarf joint.
When I took this off the "press" both corners did not seat well. It took a few minutes with a belt sander and then a follow up with a little fairing compound to get a nice smooth filet. Front side was fine. Back side a little messy. On the second attempt, I clamped the mahogany board down on each end and already see an improvement. Nothing a little filler cant fix. The second panel yielded the same results. I believe that my mahogany clamp is not flexible enough to get good pressure on the edges.
Forward panel is scribed and ready to cut.
