Don't do it! If you do you might start sanding.

Re: Eric's C21
Eric, when the boat is right way up, do you want the finished bottom of the timber/glass portion of the rub rail to be at right angles to the hull, horizontal athwartships, or sloping up from the hull? First layer looking good.
Currently building Jacques Mertens ST21 "Skinnydip". Boating adventures: Splash testing and using 'Skinnydip, as a basis of further building refinement; Adams 44’ sailing sloop "Great Sandy" (cruising and maintaining); Iain Oughtred Feather Pram "Mini Dip" (building); Jacques Mertens R13 "Wood Duck" (built and due for maintenance).
Re: Eric's C21
Thanks Glossie. I'm not sure yet,leaning towards a simple right angle but it depends on how I join the gunwales.glossieblack wrote: ↑Mon Sep 11, 2017 6:21 pm Eric, when the boat is right way up, do you want the finished bottom of the timber/glass portion of the rub rail to be at right angles to the hull, horizontal athwartships, or sloping up from the hull?

Re: Eric's C21
Hi Eric, the boat looks great. I'm really enjoying reading you're build thread as I'm unable to work on my boat till I get home. I did the same as your proposing and went for a 90 deg. angle between the bottom of the rub rail and the hull. I found it easier to get things square and it forms a negative angle when the boat is turned back over. I'm hoping this will help prevent spray from migrating over the top like a backup spray rail.

Re: Eric's C21
Thanks Alan. I was just thinking it would match/accent the style line already on the boat. Your thoughts however are plausible.Fair WX Pilot wrote: ↑Mon Sep 11, 2017 7:27 pm Hi Eric, the boat looks great.

Good Morning Everyone.
I got the first layer glued to the hull on the right. I paid attention and it went better than yesterday.
I used 4.5 ounces of epoxy in 3 batches to do this. I tossed about an 1 1/2 ounces of waste. That was enough for a spit coat on the glue side of the rails plus the wood flour glue. At the end I added more wood flour and made a putty to fill the bow where the two sides meet. After the next two layers are on I'll form a nice radius there.
