Tub sub nose being glued in place. Tub extends just past jig.
Waxed paper prevents one piece tub/jig assembly. 21FE shown.
TD being glued in place.
Put a layer of waxed paper over the jig.
Put the tub aft bottom in the jig and set
the tub onto it.
Fully clamp the jig sides to the jig.
Glue the tub sub nose to the very front
of the tub. This supports the nose for
sheeting, and provides a solid base for
the tub nose block.
Using epoxy, glue the tub aft bottom in
place. Make sure that the bottom
extends to the front bulkhead. It should
cover the full 1/8 inch bulkhead. Later
on, we will sand this to match the angle
of the tub sides. Leave a small overhang
at the rear of the tub. Do not sand this
off.
The aft bottom sheet is pre cut to the
correct length. Make the front of this
flush with the front of the first bulkhead,
and the rear overhang will be correct.
Glue in the transom doubler with epoxy.
Make sure that it fits flat against the
transom, and that it sits firmly on the tub
bottom.
Clamp until cured.
