Test fit the chines in place. Note that the chines
have small tabs at the front. These key into the
keel.
The chines will end up with a small angle at the
front, which is correct.
Do not glue the deck chine to bulkhead 5 at this
time. We need to wait until the other glue joints are
secure before we glue this.
All bulkheads have water drain notches, and we can
use them to hold rubber bands. Bulkheads 4 and 5
will need rubber bands looped around the tabs. The
others can use the spine notches.
Using
Titebond III
or epoxy, glue one of the deck
chines (UC) in place.
Put glue on the edge of CS, but only from bulkhead
4 forward
. We don’t want to glue the support to 5
until the chine is in place there.
Use rubber bands in the provided slots to help hold
them in place. Do the other deck chine before this
one cures.
In other words, glue both top chines, then glue both
bottom chines. We don’t want to pull on one side
and not the other.
Note that you should not clamp the chines to
bulkhead 1A. Put glue down, and let the chine rest
on 1A in its natural position. The chines may or may
not contact 1A.
