The roof frame was built. Pieces to be added to finish the contours and fit. The roof will need to come off for access to all electronics. Final shaping will be done after all work on the superstructure finished

📝 Glue for ABS - Krick Paula Work Boat

Glues depend on the surfaces to be glued.
I use Gorilla wood glue for wood to wood
CA for styrene to styrene and wood to styrene
Two part epoxies when needed
Two part finishing epoxy for sealing the hull inside and out.

Thanks Ron
A butt joint is very weak and fiber cloth will reinforce the seam and be on the inside of the build out of sight.

📝 Structure
15 days ago by Newby7 ( Admiral)

Work started on the superstructure. The numbered pieces (6) were punched out to make the two sides for the cabin. The pieces are butt jioned and needed a left and right. Not sure the glue would be enough to hold the pieces together. Cut strips of fiber cloth and glued each seam on the inside of both sides. Built the front of the cabin. clean up and sanding to come.

📝 Stand
22 days ago by Newby7 ( Admiral)
Admiral)
The drawing for the stand was to be transfered to wood of choice I felt the disign was to small for this build. Had a length of 1x4 pine and picked up 7/16 dowel to build a redisigned stand. Marked the plan angles onto the pine and disigned the shape to be cut out. Cut out drilled and put together. Clean up to come.

I have been using the same product. Had success cutting it on cardboard using a straight edge and box cutter (new blade) Still need to be careful in how you handle the fiberglass cloth.

How wonderful Colin to see her on the water. Father builds her, son restores her, son brings her to the water and son sails her. How good is that

Thanks Trev My idea was that I didn't have to be as fine on the sides without the mahagany in place and yet still glass the hull.

Decide to fiberglass the hull before gluing the mahagany in place. Used Ezy-Kote to paint the cloth in place.

The hull bottom when sanded and filled is a finished surface to be painted. When the bottom is close will glue on the first pieces for the transom and sides and fill and sand before mahagany goes on
