HULL
ASSEMBLY - Glue the Stern (Part II)
|
|
1.
In order to reinforce the inside seam of the stern piece,
1" heavy weave fiberglass tape will be epoxied over
the inside joint. With scissors, cut two strips of fiberglass
tape three inches long. |
|
|
2.
While working on a sheet of wax paper, brush the remaining
epoxy/micro-balloon mix onto the strips of fiberglass
tape. Wet both sides of the tape, then remove excess resin
with the brush. |
 |
3.
Inside the hull, place a piece of wetted tape over the
stern seam on each side. Wick out any excess resin with
the brush. |
|
|
4.
Making sure there is no epoxy on the exposed indexing
lip, place the upper forward hull onto the lower and make
any adjustments in the position of the upper stern piece
that is necessary. Once everything is lined up, secure
the pieces with tape. Dispose of epoxy mixing cup and
brush. Set the hull aside and allow the epoxy to cure
overnight. |

Trick
of the Trade
What's
a sure fire way to keep an adjacent part from being
bonded while you use it to align another part that is
being glued? When working with epoxy, spread a thin
film of petroleum jelly on the surface to remain
free from glue.
