To use the hot glue method of construction you will need to use an electric staple or nail gun to attach the strips to the molds. The hot glue sets in just a few seconds, so it is necessary to squeeze out about 12 inches of hot glue on the strip then hold it tightly in place while the glue sets, then staple the strip to the nearest mold. No clamps are required for this technique.
The process of bending the strips in place around the molds gets a little more difficult as the strips reach the turn of the bilge. At this point in the construction you can take the easy way out and lay the strips from the centerline out on both sides of the hull. It is much easier to finish the bottom of the hull that way but the finished hull is not nearly as pretty to look at. Although it is more difficult to bend the strips into place toward the centerline I recommend doing so because you will be much more pleased with the results of your extra effort and with the appearance of the finished hull. |1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15| |
