: You can also use thickened isocyanate glue (instant glue) for wood. That has
: the advantage that epoxy can still fill in the cracks later when you
: fibreglass.
: If you are using bead and cove the same glue can be used to glue them
: together and when the whole structure comes together it supports itself.
: You can place a ledge under the cockpit cutout on which the uprights can rest
: while the glue hardens. You then hold it up against the cutout with a
: small clamp that attaches to the edge.
: You can also substitute a wooden piece for the fillet. Cut a long section
: from a strip with a triangular cross section and notch it in the back as
: you go around the sharper corners.
: Hopefully clear.

Alright, thanks for the responses, which I'll digest throughout my workday! But more questions arise as I plot my next moves: Before the coaming I need to clean up the bottom of the deck for glassing (the top is already done). So, where can I pick up the shapable foam type material to use to cradle the deck while I work on it? Also, the instant glue mentioned, where can I obtain that? Is there a brand type name?
Thanks again!
