Shower tray sump plug making underway
Having made the general shape and size it is now time to fair the surfaces and the edges so that a moulding can betaken off the plug
The first job is to fill the surface where necessary to then fair up the surface so a moulding can be made
The last two floor bearers getting a final coat of epoxy before getting fitted into the area between the fore cabin and the main cabin
The last piece of the aft pair of bulkheads
The last piece now glued and screwed in position and now just needs masking and taping up round the edges
The floor bearers now screwed in position and the drain holes drilled through bulkheads, they just need epoxy round the edges to seal the plywood edges
Starting to mask up the area so that the bulkhead id kept clear of resin while it is glassed into position
