I was snooping around the Goodwill store today and found a big plastic canister of those plastic clamps that are like the ones in Chuck's picture for a $1.50! Like 40 of them.. All never used. Score! -
Thanks Chuck.. Good idea on the post it's Tim.

Perfect. The first wale is soaking now to fit it. I was wondering if you sanded the first planks above the wale before installing the wale? It seems it would be easier to even out the strakes before attaching the wales, since the thickness is different. (to prevent accidentally sanding the wale)

Hey Chuck does the Office Depot clamps mar or dent the wood?
-
Looks good Kurt. I think I will do just that.. Thanks
-
Thanks Chuck...

Lol...I read and re-read the instructions and still get 99% of it wrong.. So, DEFT satin.. is this available h depot ? any trick to applying the stuff?
-
I planked the walls just as Chuck did. I attached 29a and 29 to the walls. Should be ok. If I have any issues, I will just remove them.. Sound ok? Also, after I stain the floors and walls, should I hit it with clear poly? semi gloss

I am going to stain floors and walls before planking further.. What color you using Chuck?
-
How wide is the 2nd strake?
-
Getting the shearstrakes installed. Cockpit floors and walls done. Thinking I will stain floors and walls before I get much further.

I better shadow what you are doing more! I caught myself yesterday thinking about the cockpit planking while I was at a recording session actually performing. I had to share and everyone had a good laugh! Actually a few of the musicians are very intrigued about my Philly project..
-
Hey Chuck, yep pencil for caulking. Instructions do not mention planking the cockpit walls.. Dang! I wish I had done that
-
Hey Keith, some pics would be great! Thanks!

Just finished installing the forward cockpit flooring (detail 2-5 on plans). Seemed pretty routine but it took a while as football and the weather here in Seattle is great. I will finish the aft flooring then stain it all at the same time. Again pretty routine.

Ok, I like the pencil idea. Now, where on the planks do we add the marks? Spacing wise?
