First sand the adhesive surfaces of the bunksides and remove dust \/ degrease with acetone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did all the epoxy gluing steps in one operation. The keel floors and bunksides where precoated with a thin epoxy layer so that the glue can penetrate the wood. Then the joints where filled with a thickened epoxy (Mix epoxy and cotton fibers). I applied the filets directly while the epoxy had not yet hardened. This way I get a better adhesive connection and save myself grinding work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Keel-floors-glued-with-filets-1024x467.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Keel-floors-glued-with-filets-1024x467.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Keel-floors-glued-with-filets-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Keel-floors-glued-with-filets-768x350.jpg 768w, https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Keel-floors-glued-with-filets-1536x700.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Keel-floors-glued-with-filets-2048x933.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Keel-floors-glued-with-filets-624x284.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To get a proper fit I weighed the keel floors down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Keel-floor-gluing-with-ballast-1024x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Keel-floor-gluing-with-ballast-1024x400.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Keel-floor-gluing-with-ballast-300x117.jpg 300w, https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Keel-floor-gluing-with-ballast-768x300.jpg 768w, https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Keel-floor-gluing-with-ballast-1536x601.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Keel-floor-gluing-with-ballast-2048x801.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Keel-floor-gluing-with-ballast-624x244.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I prefabricated the keel floors from oak wood (see my blog:https:\/\/minisailer.ch\/?p=258) The keel beam No. 1 and No. 3 are already glued in with the corresponding frames D` and C.
