Ready for trimming.
Rockett sponson deck test fitted.
Deck in place after epoxy cures.
Mix about 1/2 ounce of epoxy finishing resin.
Using a squeegee or credit card, coat the
bottom of the deck with resin. This seals the
deck bottom.
Use your brush to coat all areas that this
deck will touch. Work quickly.
As soon as everything is ready, start
clamping and taping the deck as before. Use
your alignment mark to save time.
Tape the crap out of the deck, make sure it is
completely
attached,
and
repeat
the
procedure on the other side.
Make sure the hull stays weighted on the
bench until the deck center is done.
Glue the sponson decks on the same way.
You may find it easier to bend these decks if
you soak them in water first. If you do, let
them dry while clamped and taped to the
sponson. When dry, they will conform to the
sponson shape and be easy to glue.
Don’t forget to seal the bottom of the deck
before gluing it on.
Once all decks are cured, fit and glue in the
deck center with 30 minute epoxy. Seal the
underside with epoxy as well. The deck
center should be flush with the back of
bulkhead 1.
Tape tightly in place. Let sit for at least 2
hours.
You can cut the top of bulkhead 2 off at this
point. Sand and seal the cut areas.
