Default Re: Here We Go Again

Thanks Fellowship. Never herd of the stuff but it looks good. Let us know how it works.

Bryan- I still have to pull the all the staples. I've pulled a few out just to see how easy they will come out and they come out easily. I'll pull them all this weekend. Liquid nails is $17.00 a gallon and it took a gallon to glue the panels in place. A lot cheaper then resin and I avoided the PIA of having to mix cabosil. Plus the stuff is more sticky then resin/cabosil. The panels just pressed right in place. It's very solid. Keeping costs down and getting the job done.

I still will use the panels I pulled off the sides of the boat to fill in the upper most portions that I could not cover with the flat panels. They held their shape OK.




I needed to get some marks on the panels while they were still on the side of the boat so I would know were to make my cuts. I used a really long 1/8" drill bit and attached it to my handy little angle drill.



drilled some holes from the inside out



and connected the dots



The panels did not hurt the outside of the hull in any way other then the little 1/8" holes that I will fill later.



I'll get more done this weekend hopefully.
