I
am not glassing the mast foot. The shapes are too
complex to make it an easy job, so I slathered on the
first coat of epoxy and really blasted it with the
heat gun to get it to penetrate deep into the pores of
the timber, especially on the ends. This
will be in an area which I don’t want to revisit for
maintenance, so I epoxied the hell out of it. The
support stick is hot-glued to a spot that will be
seated in thickened epoxy when it is glued into the
hull. |
