Mix filler with 30 minute epoxy to make a paste for
the engine rails.
This paste should create a small fillet on each side
of the rails.
Make the paste thick so that it will not run or sag.
Do the inside and outside of the engine rails. Make
sure that you pack it in on the inside.
Use your finger to make a small fillet.
Wipe off any excess filler.
Allow to cure.
Fiberglassing seam
Use the supplied fiberglass cloth, and some epoxy
finishing resin. Cut the cloth to fit along the bottom in
3 pieces.
Save all leftover cloth.
Mix 4 ounces of finishing resin.
Brush resin onto the center seam and lay the cloth
down, centered on the seam.
Brush in a heavy coat of resin, so that the cloth is
completely wetted.
Repeat for the other two sections. Work quickly.
Reinforce transom
Use some of the excess cloth to reinforce the
transom.
Cut pieces about 2 inches wide, and use them to
strengthen the sides to transom and bottom to
transom area. Use finishing resin and make it
smooth.
Use any excess resin to seal the inside of the hull.
Save two pieces of cloth to reinforce the deck to
transom the same way.
Sealing Interior
Now we need to seal the inside. It is vital that all
exposed wood be sealed.
