The bungs and the rest of the hull were glued with
polyurethane glue. In France, it is considered carcinogenic.
It is no longer available to non professionals. Accordingly,
I had to buy 5 litres at an exorbitant cost.
The bungs glued in place and lined up with the grain of
the half lift.
4. Gluing the half lifts together
In gluing to half lifts together, I lined up the station lines
and held the half lifts snugly one against the other and in the
same plane, securing them with clamps.
The first point to remember is that polyurethane sticks to
everything except polyethylene. I covered my work board
with a sheet of polyethylene and I wrapped the parts being
glued in what is called in the U.S. "Saran Wrap", a light
polyethylene film for the kitchen used to cover food
It was necessary to insert nails just forward and just aft of
the wedges to prevent them sliding along the hull as I
tightened the clamps.
