Side Sheeting
When the chines have been sanded and blended,
it’s time to start the sheeting.
We have included 12 clamp plates (C) to be used to
hold the side sheeting in place.
Dry clamp the side sheeting in place. Clamp and
adjust the sheeting so that it overhangs an equal
amount on the top and bottom. Leave a little
hanging off of bulkhead 5 as well.
Sand a bevel on the front edge so that it will meet
the other side sheet.
When it looks good, make a reference mark
somewhere that is easy to see. I make it between 3
and 4.
Mark a line on the chine and the sheeting, so that
you can align the marks quickly when gluing.
Remove the clamps.
Using
30 minute epoxy
or Titebond III, glue the
side in place.
Using a small stick or acid brush, coat the chines
and bulkhead edges. Work quickly.
