Check the inserts to make sure they are flush with the contour of the Hull Liner and won’t get in the way when you bond the
Hull Liner to the Hull. While you wait for the epoxy to cure, sand the hull. Use the folded towel to protect the outside of the
hull from scratches and to support the hull as you firmly sand in the marked outline of the Hull Liner’s location inside the
Hull.
Be careful to not sand off the two locator bumps at the keel. You will need them later.
On the rounded part of the
Keel Reinforcement, cut off about 1/4-inch with scissors to remove the flared edge.
Set the Transom Reinforcement into the Transom end of the Hull and align to the sides of the hull. Mark along the Transom
top and Hull Sides for trimming. Be careful not to move or shift the reinforcement while marking.
Carefully trim off the marked top of the Transom Reinforcement by scoring with a knife or use scissors. If scoring, lightly
score once then repeat until you can break off the scrap. Set the Transom Reinforcement back into the transom firmly seated
in place and mark the edges in the Hull for sanding.
Sand inside the Hull at the transom back and sides. Carefully support the back of the transom while sanding as it is very
thin. Sand the outside of the Transom Reinforcement. If the reinforcement epoxy is cured, sand the Hull Liner as shown.
The folded towel will allow you to support the shape while sanding.
