This weekend I made some great progress on the boat. On the menu was finishing the chines, or outside joints where the bottom meets the sides. I also elected to get some laminating started and decided to glass one side of both front and aft level floors. Also I was able to glue up both the guide pedestal and the Aft pedestal. Finishing the chines is rather straight forward work. First, I took a hand plane and squared off the sides to the bottom. Next, I used a power plane to make 45 degree chamfers until the edge was rounded to approximately an 1 1/2 " radius. Then I used my sander and some 80 grit to make it a nice smooth rounded edge for the biaxial tape. Next, I mixed up some peanut butter epoxy and filled in any gaps between the side and bottom as well as all the tiny holes I made stitching the hull. I let this dry overnight. Today, I went and sanded all of my chines again and cleaned them to prep for my biaxial fiberglass. I made another wet out station and after doing some minor touch up with some more peanut butter epoxy and getting the right size strips of fiberglass, I wet out each strip and applied it to the chines like I did the interior. After all th joints were taped and wet out, I continued work with the pedestals. I assembled my molds and then predrilled screw holes in the ends of my laminations. Next, I applied epoxy to all inside sides of the 1/8" okoume plywood and paired them together. I then screwed one side to the mold and tightly wrapped them around the mold and secured them on the other side to dry. Lastly, I cut fiberglass cloth for the forward and aft level floors and glassed one side of each. This week I will try and get my chines sanded and finished as well try and finish my pedestals and level floors so that I can install them next week!
