ASSEMBLING 1
● When a die-cut part is not readily removed,
use a suitable cutter to separate. Do not forcefully pull it.
● Sand the surface of the die-cut parts with sandpaper of
size say, #320, to facilitate later painting work.
● Make insider surface of the FRP hull flat by sanding as possible.
And wipe the surface to clean before gluing.
● As the drawing shows, assemble temporarily the die-cut parts which should
be glued with the FRP hull, and put them into hull to check previously where
would contact with hull.
Then, roughen by sanding the surface of the die-cut parts which would contact with hull.
● Before glue the hull and each die-cut parts, put the temporarily assembled frame into the
hull to check if any part of FRP and veneer would contact narrowly. If there are any narrow contacts,
grind the veneer parts slightly to avoid distortion or inexact positioning.
● To glue FRP hull with each die-cut parts, using adhesive 3 or 4 is recommended.
To glue a die-cut part to the others, using adhesive 1 or 2 is recommended.
