Back

Laying the tape on the edge and wetting it before pulling it on the corners to bend it round the sides.

Im just getting the edges to pull it into the shape I want.

Almost there, just wetting it out some more.

Had breakfast, got back, found it had cured, so its rubrail time..

Gluing it..

Hes supporting it while I fix it.

The blocks are glued, now Im screwing each one on through the hull.

Need to wipe the glue off before it dries.

Bending it into place and screwing it on.

Other side..

I fixed them using every other block. Now its time to fix the rest.

Er...

The longer bits for the ends of the rubrail spacing.

Screwing it in place

Cutting it to length

With that he ran out of battery.

I gave it a coat of varnish before putting it under cover for the night.

It could be used as is...but I want to give it a second coat - when it finishes raining.

I also want to fit proper watertight tanks and a few other bits and pieces.
