Support the edges in order to sand the sides evenly. In the Hull, mark the lines for the Hull Liner with 4 clothespins. On the
outside of the Hull, center the Clamping Strip between those markers and tape in place. Remove the clothespins.
These strips will prevent the clothes pins from dimpling the sides of the Hull.
Practice
setting the Hull Reinforcing Liner
into the hull without touching the sides to prevent epoxy from rubbing off onto the hull. Repeat centering on the two locator
bumps and confirm the location with the end-marks you drew on the hull. The Hull should be sitting directly on the work
table. To keep it from falling over, steady the sides with a folded towel or other object that won’t get in the way of clamping.
Mix 1-Pump of West Systems Epoxy and add 1 level tablespoon of filler. Brush onto the Hull Liner like you did the Deck
Liner. When you are done, a little extra around the crossmember inserts will help strengthen this area.
Don’t use all of the
epoxy. Save some for the Transom Reinforcement.
While holding the side together a little, set the Hull Liner into the hull and align it using the two locator bumps and the
marked end lines. When you are confident it is in the proper place, set two 15 ounce cans of vegetables into the Hull Liner
as shown.
