It is a good idea to keep a small quantity of araldite or other epoxy handy for any odd
jobs. The Plywood used to build your boat is by and large 6mm thick, which is not really
deep enough to hold a screw. Therefore if you want to add any fittings or modify your
boat, the best way is to glue a pad of timber to the area in question, after first scraping or
sanding off any paint.
If you have a spray hood, the transparent film in the windows it attacked by ultra violet,
so when folding it down, push the film inwards so that the canvas protects it by lying
over it.
