On Wednesday I took a chance against the forecast and glued on the last 12 mm panel on the transom below the boarding platform. For good measure I sealed the ply edges with thickened epoxy to keep out any moisture overnight. Today I trimmed the surplus ply on the underside again epoxy saturated the edges and face of the ply with wet on wet coats of fast cure part B. The cure beat the thunderstorm that rolled through late in the afternoon.
I managed a coat of epoxy primer in the locker and have just one small section behind the quarter berth to sand and prime. It is already double coated with epoxy and the white primer is to improve the light in the dark corners of the hull.
In between jobs I bogged some 100 mm wide 12 mm ply strips to the top of the frames I am building to support the hull after the turn. Tomorrow I will add a couple of layers of glass for good measure and then pre drill the frame ready to bolt to some solid LVL planks.
Two support frames of 24 mm ply shaped to the hull and with 100 mm wide ply planks to spread the load.
The last panel of 12 mm ply glued to the transom of our Didi 40 Cr. It is faired on the underside and saturated with epoxy resin.
A closer look at the stern support for our Didi 40 Cr. I must remember to drill the hole in the frame for the prop shaft
