glueing

Today. I was filling in the holes made by the screws with glue,
Once i mixed the glue i was starting to fill the holes, all the holes were closed with airpocket inside them because they were going into the skegs to pull the skegs down while glueing.

A good technique i saw Chris showing me was to use a nail and press the glue into the holes so it will push down the glue into the airpocket which the  air will come out and there wont be any pressure into the wood without any airpockets.

Also we were trying to fit the B/Head into place and see where we have to glue it in. The problem we had fitting the B/Head into place was that it didnt line up into the correct possition we expected in to. We had to think about this for few mins before dry testing it. The Solution we come up with was same as the other team, which was to place a wood just behind the B/Head so it will push out the distance between the Starboard and Port sides and let the B/Head slide into place then remove it once the B/Head was glued into place.

  1. Good posting Goran.
    Is the "place a wood behing the B/Head" not correctly called a cross spall?

    Good detail on correctly filling screw holes.

    Keep up with this detailed writing.

    Cheers
