February 2013
This months project has been finishing the cockpit sole and bonding it all in place.
First off I coated the underside of the main plywood floor pieces with epoxy. The peel ply is where the floor support
timbers are, so that I get a good bond.
Before I could bond the sole timbers in place the bilge needed coating in epoxy.
The next job was to machine and cut the bilge access holes in the central section.
First I routered the outer rebate then I cut the center section out with a jigsaw.
Followed by a dry fit to check everything sat at the correct level.
Here it is all bonded in place.
Finally I coated the center sole section so that it is completely sealed.
And the Hobbity wood store gets completed with a nice coat of green roof stain.
