The Boat Shop

First thing this morning was to remove the temporary skeleton supports from under the railing.  Two full-length tapes of 17-08 biaxal cloth were cut to be installed under the wash rails, attaching the deck to the hull.  Using the remaining resin, the valence material was hot coated and set aside to cure.

Preparation makes fabrication easier

After some superficial burns courtesy of the glue gun the valences were in place.  Another full-length layer of 17-08 on each side and they were done.  The remaining resin was put to good use hot-coating the deck.

Hot coating - an important step

It's a shame this will soon be covered up
