An example of floatation. Yours will differ slightly.
Repeat this process for a second coat. You will
notice that this coat uses far less epoxy, as it
doesn’t have to soak in to the wood like the first
coat.
Sand the underside of the deck with 180 before
laying on the second coat.
You can glue in your deck dowel now. Use
epoxy.
Floatation
Now is the time to put floatation in the hull.
DO NOT OMIT THIS STEP! Without floatation
YOU WILL LOSE YOUR BOAT!
You can use white, pink or blue foam, pool
noodles, plastic bottles, almost anything that
floats.
You will need about 1 full small pool noodle or
half of a large one
Stay away from spray in foam; it has too many
disadvantages for this use.
If you use blocks of foam, make them as big as
you can. You can get pool noodles at the dollar
store or Wally World.
Be sure the floatation will not interfere with the
top sheeting or the fuel bag. Use epoxy to spot
glue floatation that is not captured by the deck,
like on each side of the fuel bag.
A boat stand is a good idea at this point.
You can make a boat stand out of PVC pipe or
wood.
Let’s get this puppy closed up!
Top Sheeting
Let’s get the hull ready for the top sheeting.
Trim the building tabs, and sand the bulkheads
flush with the sides and chines, if you have not
already done so.
Getting the hull ready for the deck.
Make sure that the deck is in contact all around.
