The next step was to glue on the out wales. I would be able
to clamp it for most of its length but up near the deck there would be nothing
to clamp to. I did not want to have to screw it on and then try and hide the
screws so I spent a lot of time thinking about how to achieve this. Finally
after a lot of thought I built 2 of these weird looking braces and used them to
hold the out wales in place while the epoxy dried. This took a lot of set up
and the tension required on the rope that was holding the two braces together
was so much you could almost play it like a guitar string. But it was worth it.
The result was exactly what I was after a seamless join with no screws.
