The cans will hold down the Hull Liner. You start clamping the top at the center. Pinch the sides together with your left
hand while you clamp with your right. Center the clothespin on the rib.
Notice how the clothespin is clamping the end of the rib and the top edge of the Hull Liner. The Spring is not touching the
plastic. Continue pinching and clamping every other rib until both sides are done.
You will notice that in between the clothespins there may be gaps between the Hull and the Hull Liner. Clamp these gaps
with the end of another clothespin, not clamping the rib this time. Look for any epoxy oozing out of the top and clean it
while it is still uncured. Apply the filled epoxy to the Transom Reinforcement.
Don’t forget the sides. Insert the Transom Reinforcement into the Transom, pressing it into place while supporting the
outside of the Transom. Clamp one clothespin fully onto the Transom center. Check the alignment.
