Mast glue up




 Well that was the hardest job I’ve done since I started this pocketship. I milled up the blocks for the base and top of the mast and then spread unthickened epoxy on the inside of all four staves.  Made up thickened epoxy and coated the mating surfaces. I used 20+ clamps and probably 30 or more screws.  

We shall see. :)

Waterline struck and first coat.

 Figured out how to strike the waterline with the laser level. I just didn’t have the laser level back far enough Then got the first coat done and it looks good so far.  Pettit EZPoxy Electric Sapphire blue with additive. Using roll and tip.
