Day 37: Hatch Gutter Installation, Hatch Lid Fiberglassing


Took the clamps off this morning and the gutters were glued tight.  Everything stayed in place and is looking good.

This a pic of the hatch lids.  I set them in place just to check the fit.  The starboard side lid will need a little adjustment but the rest of them look good.

The inside of the hatch lids got a coat of glass.  They took a bit of time because I was attempting a very small fillet between the lid and the lip.  It took some delicate work to get the glass to accept the severe bend.   Seemed to work out, however, tomorrow will tell...


To ensure the hatch lids stayed flat during the glass process, I used some blocks my dad had cut to pin down the 4 corners of each hatch lid.


The top surfaces of some of the large deck pieces were also glassed today.
