Removed the clamps and we have a little excess epoxy to trim from the seam.
Trimmed the large blobs with a bi metal blade on the DeWALT oscillating multitool and finished up with 120 grit on a DeWALT 20V random orbital sander.
Chine is watertight now, needs some fairing compound and sanding.
Used TotalBoat THIXO thickened epoxy to fasten the deck piece to the backer plate and hull flange.
Clamps for the seam, they are vintage, used at Alcort and AMF 1960-1978 by our friend Howie. He sent them to us about 10 years ago along with tips on working the hull flange seam, example, the paint stir sticks along the edge of the deck are there to help distribute clamp pressure evenly. For the deck seam we put a strip of poly down to smooth out epoxy, placed a piece of salvaged fiberglass deck over that to spread out pressure of the sandbags.
