The hull story

Posted on January 28, 2018January 4, 2023 by David

Once I flipped the boat to start the hull work, I wanted to flip it back upright again, ala Eskimo role. Very overwhelming. It seemed that every square foot was loose or damaged or needed some sort of work. Where to start? In the middle.

I choose the worse area and soon found that delaminate veneer was warped. What that meant was that the magnet-glue technique would not work. So I carefully cleaned up the section working back to what appeared to be solid wood and created a clean square foot section. This is where I would try do my first test.
