It will have epoxy anyway as the hardwood left gaps trying to take the curve

But progress is moving along

Titebond 3 under epoxy

Curious if this would cause a problem but I have some more woodworking style stuff coming up on my build and curious if using Titebond 3 to glue board up then attaching to the hull and covering with 3 coats of epoxy will cause issues. Needing to put some hardwood over plywood edges and glue a panel ...

Fuel Tanks and Bulkheads

Hey guys it has been a while but we are still making steady progress. Exterior paint went on today, next all the fittings start going on and laying down decks. But before that I need to get the fuel tank figured out. I have it in its compartment and plan to run the fill, vent, fuel lines out one sid...

Re: Chasing Tail - FS17 LS

You're getting there! What thickness of ply are you using on the decks? You have a lot of unsupported space below those battens. Don't get me wrong...I like the layout, but make sure the deck is solid and won't flex. We will have 3/8 in ply with 2 layers of 3 oz cloth on either side. We are getting...

Re: Chasing Tail - FS17 LS

So it has been a while but that doesn't mean progress has stopped. We have a few update photos attached but we have the sole down, and the frames in place for the casting decks (probably overkill).
