Vaccumming the dust away before applying epoxy. |
Masking where the epoxy won't be. |
Mixing the two parts of epoxy-resin and hardener |
Stirring carefully measured amount of epoxy for the job |
Applying epoxy to the stem |
Coating the boat stem |
Needs to be completely covered before stem is applied |
Time to apply the coated stem to the boat |
Carefully made and matched with dowels |
Holes are drilled through the stem into the boat |
Only two screws and epoxy will hold the stem in place |
The dowels will be removed next and the holes filled |
Notice the epoxy squeezing out, it will be smoothed over |
Later the masking blue tape will be removed. |
So cool to watch this progress!!
