: I'm building an expedition single and nearing the point of puting the two
: halves together. I'm using minicell for the bulkheads (2 "). Should I
: try to install those before the two halves go together or is it relatively
: easy to fit the blkhds after the process...does it make any difference?
Ed,
Go ahead and assemble the kayak. Then install the bulkheads. Cut them a touch big all around, the foam will compress and fit snuggly. Seal in place with a marine sealant, and that's it.
Have fun! Steve
