Engine rails weighted while the glue dries. Gluing
block under bulkhead 2.
Sponson chines in place.
Make sure the sponson transom is square.
Snap the rails in as before. Use any excess
resin to create a fillet where the rails meet
the bottom.
When the rails are fully epoxied in, place
some weights on them, with the gluing
block under bulkhead 2.
Let cure for at least 2 hours.
When cured, press down on bulkhead 3
and double glue in place.
Sponsons
Remove the sponson chines for the
bottoms and sides.
Start with the side chine. Slip it into the
notches in the outside edge of the
bulkheads.
Put the front tab into the side stringer,
seating it fully. If the chine doesn’t seem to
fit correctly, make sure that you marked
them correctly, or simply try the other
chine.
Do not glue yet.
Put the bottom chine in place, making sure
that the front tab is fully seated in the slot in
the side chine.
When satisfied that everything is in place,
wick thin CA at every joint EXCEPT AT
BULKHEAD 3.
Do not glue the chines to bulkhead 3
yet
.
Use a square to check the rear of bulkhead
3 (sponson transom). Adjust the bulkhead
at the chine joints. When all is square, glue
the chines to bulkhead 3.
Double glue all chine joints.
