Laminated Cleats Between BH 1 and BH 2.
I wasn't keen on laying fillets along the join of the foredeck and hull sides between BH 1 and BH 2. The area is small and would require some gymnastic style moves whilst laying on my back, so I decided to install cleats.
To maintain the fair curve of the sides of the hull, I cut 2 strips of 6mm ply to form the cleat.
Plastic is taped to the inside of the hull for easy removal of the cleats.
The two strips are glued together and held in position by clamps until dry.
Once the epoxy has set the cleats are removed and cleaned up, notice the lamination maintains a smooth curve that will follow the side of the hull.
