Epoxy in place, ready for bottom sheeting.
Lots of clear tape holding bottom sheet in place.
Other bottom sheet used as shim while on
board.
Mix about ½ ounce of epoxy.
Use your epoxy brush to coat all areas that
the sponson bottoms will touch.
Do one sponson.
Brush epoxy on the outer perimeter of the
bottom. Be sure you do the inside of the
piece (you did mark them as left and right
inside
, didn’t you?)
Quickly tape the sponson bottoms tightly to
the sponsons. Be sure that the inside edge
of the sponson bottom is aligned as well as
you can get it. It should be flush. Also
make sure that the bottom is flush, or a
little past the sponson transom.
Flip the boat over so that it is sitting upright
on your bench.
Put the gluing block under the rear of the
boat (bulkhead 6).
Put the other sponson bottom (the one we
aren’t gluing yet) in place to shim that side
up.
Put some weight at the rear, and some just
in front of bulkhead 3. Not too much,
maybe a couple of pounds each.
