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.

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).
