In the Hull Liner you will need to glue inserts into the two shelves that support the Crossmember and the two marked Anchor
Points if you require them. The Crossmember inserts only fit one way. This is the wrong insert as it does not fit well.
Use a pencil to mark the edges of the Hull Liner onto the hull. This will help you align it later and marks the area on the
Hull you will need to sand. The Crossmember looks like this. Bow is on the left. Note the 4 bumps on the Hull Liner. These
are possible anchor points if your rigging requires them. Mark the two you plan to use.
Inside the Hull at the center bottom where the Keel is installed you will see two locator points. The Hull Liner has two
corresponding points. Using 2 fingers, slide the Hull Liner along the Hull until you feel the bumps line up. The bow-end of
the Hull Liner is narrower than the stern and must be oriented to the bow of the Hull as shown.
Examine the two bow-end clothespins. If one is not touching the table, it could have a slight twist. Lightly grasp the Deck
bow and twist up at the side where the clothespin is touching the table to remove the twist. Set down & examine again to
confirm it is level. If neither are touching, a small weight added to the center of the deck will help them touch. Attach the
last clothespin to the bow. Take one last look to be sure that all clothespins are even and properly clamped to the deck edge,
that the groove width is even all around the deck and that no epoxy dripped onto the edges of the deck or to the work
surface. Slide it back out of the way to cure overnight and prepare to work on the hull. You will need the Hull, Hull
Reinforcing Liner, Crossmember Mount Inserts, Anchor Point Inserts if you need anchor points, 30-minute epoxy & filler,
2ea 1-inch x 16-inch plastic clamping strips, your towel and around 32 more clothespins.
