This section will go
fairly quickly and easily, all your doing here is gluing on the foam
Sides and shaping them to fit the Spar Deck camber and hull bottom.
Only thing to remember here is to cut the Foam Sides 1/4 of an inch
larger, this will give you room to sand the panels down for a good
fit. I again us 3M adhesive spry to glue the panels on.
1. First cut your panels
out larger then then the frame and check for a good fit. Now spry each
surface lightly with 3M adhesive spry. Go ahead and join the panel to the
hull. Be carefully this 3M stuff is very sticky.
2. Once you Panel is on
you can sand down the bottom to mach the hull bottom. Do the same with the
forward bulkhead.
3. Now sand down the top
using the center bulkhead as a giude.
4. Check the Spar Deck
camber, you will notice about 1/16th of an inch needs to be taken of the
outer most end of the foam Panels.
5. Sand this down by
making a line with a marker along the edge. This will give you a guide so
you don't sand to much off. Sand it down with the sanding block parallel
with the hull.
7. Finally check
everything is perfect with a large straight edge.
