Side sheeting sanded flush at nose. Note overlap.
Center marks on bulkheads 4 and 5.
Bottom sheet taped and clamped in place.
Use your sanding block with fresh 80 grit to
match the angle of the bulkheads. Also,
lightly
sand half of the keel at the same time, so that
the bottom sheet lays flat on the structure. Do
not change the shape of the keel, just match the
angle.
The keel will have a slight “V” shape when you
are done.
Be very careful not to sand the keel too
much, or the bottom will not fit!
Make a mark in the exact center of bulkheads 4
and 5. Make this mark on the edge, so that you
know how far to glue the sheeting.
Test fit the bottom sheeting in place. It should
cover exactly half of the keel. Also, sand a
gradually increasing bevel on the inside (center)
edge, so that both sheets will meet squarely.
Make sure the front is accurately aligned with
the center of the keel and that there is some
overlap at the rear (1/16 inch is plenty).
When satisfied with the fit, make an alignment
mark on the bottom sheeting and the keel.
Cut about 8 pieces of wide tape, and set aside.
Mix about 1/2 ounce of 30 minute epoxy.
Using a small stick or acid brush, coat the
chines and bulkheads where the bottom
sheeting will contact. Work quickly.
Also coat half of the keel and one engine rail.
Brush epoxy onto the first 6 inches of the front
of the sheet, to help the glue joint here.
Align your marks and put a couple of clamps
along the keel, clamping the sheeting firmly to
the keel.
Check your center marks on bulkheads 4 and 5.
Wipe all excess glue off of the keel, as it will
interfere with the other side sheeting.
If everything looks good, start wrapping the wide
tape across the bottom sheeting.
