Cutting tabs.

 


I spent a bunch of time cutting tabs, 96 of them ( 8 per bulkhead front and back )  to glass the bulkheads in. They are 8 inches wide by various lengths depending on the size of each bulkhead. 8 inches wide are the smallest I would make them so the glass has plenty of area to hold onto the bulkheads and hull. Of course you could always fully glass the bulkheads but this hull is really light, its not necessary. What’s more important is the entire bulkhead is coated with resin so they wood never rots.

The tabbing material is 1708 Bi axle cloth. I am using polyester resin mostly because of the price per gallon compared to epoxy.
