Bottom
The hull bottom is 2 sheets of 1/16 plywood,
installed cross grain.
The aft bottom is longer and they both meet at
BH3.
You can wet the aft bottom if you want (outside
only) but you don’t have to.
Sand the hull bottom so that no bulkheads are
sticking up and the ply has a smooth surface to
attach to.
Sand the front bulkhead so that the angle
matches the hull side.
Glue the aft sheet in place, starting halfway
across bulkhead 3 and moving all the way back.
Note that the bottom sheets are larger than
required, and will be sanded later.
Use clamps, rubber bands, your wife, weights,
tape or whatever you need to hold the aft
bottom on complete contact with the hull.
Double check that the aft bottom only covers
half of bulkhead 3 and that you have a little
overhang all around.
Allow to cure.
Glue the fwd bottom the same way, butting it up
against the aft sheet at bulkhead 3. Leave an
overhang all around and allow to cure.
