Well I have the first layer clamped in place. The template layout worked perfectly! :D :D

From the back. :D

Tomorrow morning I'll splice the template back together. Then shift the cut line so I don't stack the seams on top of each other.
No Fuzz and Jaysen, I don't see a lot of sanding going to be needed here. :P :lol:

Eric, your approach to getting the rub rails right is already paying dividends. The first instalment is very nice. :D

If you can hold the rub rail in place with just a few spring clamps the template must have worked really well. Anything is better than using 50 clamps, bunch of screws and words that would make a Marine blush :lol:

Thank you Fuzz and Tom. :D

Here goes round two. Hoping that round spot of sticker glue won't effect the epoxy. :x
I've scraped it with a razor and washed it with laquer thinner.
I don't know why manufacturers feel the need to put stickers on everything.

Lol. Especially things like this! I like the stamps better. You would think at the very least they would use less tacky adhesive.

Good luck in round two. I'm sure it will be at least as good as the rest you've shown us!
