    It's just like you jag off's to try and jack my thread...well I'm not goin to let it happen. Came in this morning and sanded the sideboards one more time. Also sanded the lower and upper rails for adhesion with the EZ100 glue. We then trial fit the boards to make sure that our fit was what we wanted. We then applied the glue and readied the staple gun. The glue is two part and comes from an air assisted applicator. Once the glue was applied we put the boards into place and stapled with 7/8ths in staple. We filled the bottom gap with glue and spread it with our fingers. This will give us a nice rounded edge to glass on. We are only going to glass the bottom edge and also on the front bulkhead. If the truth was known we wouldn't even have to glass the bottom. This glue is unreaal. But I think for the purists out there they would not be satisfied until they saw fibreglass on it. Here are the pics from today. Students, if you have any questins...I will answer them

    Jacked is right.
    I may be to late. I did pretty much the same thing with my deal.
    Originally the tops of the panels had staples, but they were put in to hold the panel while the resin gluing it in dreid. I did the same when I installed my new panels. I got some mat real wet & mushed the panel in. Then used stainless screws to hold it in while he resin dried.
    The bottoms of my panels were glassed in on the inside & outside. That is what I did with my new panels.
    I was surprised to see my original panels were tight to the bottom of the boat.
    My old panels were rotted out. They came out in pieces. I built templates with 1/4" hardboard & scribed them into the bottom. Just kept working them in until they matched the bottom perfectly. Then got 1/2"x10' marine plywood & cut out matching the template.
    I also covered my new panels with veneer for the bling look.
    Man it has been long enough that I almost miss doing glass work. It may be time to build another boat.

    Finished the sideboards today with the final install of glass cloth along the bottom and front edge. We taped off an area so the resin just wasnt all over the bottom. The new owner is going to flow coat the floor. I bought 3" fiberglass tape for this process. The reason you do that is because if you try to cut off of a bigger sheet it leaves stranded edges and it's impossible to make look right. This came out like a pro did it..and were not pro's..more like semi pros..or beginning pros.

    This concludes the tech article for now. Next week we will install a blown alky motor on a surfboard. Ship it to Billy for paint and take it to needles to run against the "Nut Nazi".
