Tub sub nose being glued in place. Tub extends just past jig.
Waxed paper prevents one piece tub/jig assembly. 21FE shown.
TD being glued in place.
Put a layer of waxed paper over the jig.
Put the tub aft bottom in the jig and set the
tub onto it.
Fully clamp the jig sides to the jig.
Glue the tub sub nose to the very front of
the tub. This supports the nose for
sheeting, and provides a solid base for the
tub nose block.
Using epoxy, glue the tub aft bottom in
place. Make sure that the bottom extends to
the front bulkhead. It should cover the full
1/8 inch bulkhead. Later on, we will sand
this to match the angle of the tub sides.
Leave a small overhang at the rear of the
tub. Do not sand this off.
The aft bottom sheet is pre cut to the
correct length. Make the front of this flush
with the front of the first bulkhead, and the
rear overhang will be correct.
Glue in the transom doubler with epoxy.
Make sure that it fits flat against the
transom, and that it sits firmly on the tub
bottom.
Clamp until cured.
