Hi,
I have almost finished with secondary's Looks ok, but I would like the mains to be perfect, The main question is Is it better to go ahead and put all the wood in before I start wrapping the mains, Like the bulkheads and the standoffs for the motor cradle and the floor support for the rear deck. Or should I wrap the bottoms or work around the whole stinger. I am clueless right now Picture of the ribs and secondary some small bubbling, but after reading one other post I am doing much better. If anyone would like to give me a call I would be more than happy to listen 352-361-8068 Thanks Mike |

Mike,
I feel now's the time to get all your wood in place so then everything is glassed in as one "unit". |

With structural wood stringers like you have gone with, what Pete suggests will work fine..
if you were trying to accomplish structure with glass I would tell you long uninterupted lengths of glass should first be put down the length of the stringers before adding the bulk heads. So = I am not really adding to this thread.. just making sure anyone who reads it later understands the difference.. |

Thanks,
I will most likely put the wood in first, another question . When then floor goes in I am concerened with the area where the floor is so close to the hull on the front two sides , beside the driver s feet and the side of the passenger seat. When beginning on the mains I was going to run a 8" tape and leave most of it on the hull and wrap fro their up and then come back and change my overlap but would like suggestions. |
