[QUOTE="Kriseffinger, post: 301808, member: 9611"] I was able to finish the framework for the floor this weekend by adding the center supports and using the L brackets I made to attach the frame to the ribs. I also added pieces of old garden hose to the aluminum frame between the ribs where the frame has a chance to rub the hull. I was also able to seal the 3 places where the hull leaked when I tested it, the two back corners and the bottom of the front V. I mixed the entire quart of gluvit because I wanted to make sure I had the correct ratio of activator to epoxy and I wasn’t confident in my ability to get the ratio correct without mixing the whole thing. Helpful hints for mixing your gluvit/epoxy, buy a 1 quart/gallon paint mixer from hardware store, worked like a dream and made the job much easier. Once I had the leaky spots covered with plenty of epoxy I used what I had left to seal every seam in the boat just to be safe. [/QUOTE]
