We drilled and zip tied up the hull every 6 inches then put glue (West system mixed with 70% 406 and 30% 410 filler) in between each zip tie. Just enough to hold. Then we cut out the ties and ran a fillet joint along the entire inside of the chine. I used a 1/2 radius fillet which will allow me to use 4 inch tape. For a rule of thumb your fiberglass tape should go 30mm past your fillet on top and bottom.
Here is a shot right after i glued up the Chine.
Nick clamping all 14 clamps down to the stern.
Here is the bow stem all cut up. We used the cutoff pieces from the stem so hold the clamps on straight and it was a real pain to figure out how to get is all on there tight.
All Glued!
Starting to cut out the rest of the bulkheads.
Matt cutting away. PS a brand new jigsaw blade makes a world of difference!
Measuring and installing bulkheads.
Here is as the boat sits now. Bulkheads are test fitted. Now i need to remove them and put fiberglass tape down on the chine re-install the bulkheads glue and tape them in.
