Cockpit combing

First step for putting on the cockpit combing is to saw the spacers into the right lengths and then saturate them twice with epoxy, letting them cure in between coats.

Then using 10 clamps per side you glue the spacers to the cockpit with epoxy that has been slightly thickened with wood flour.

The combing lips have to be fiberglassed on both sides first and then cut to the right length as well. I used the same set up to cut these as I did to cut out the hatches (vise-grip with fine tooth jigsaw blade).
I cut them a tad on the long side then made up the difference by filing a little at a time to make sure the length and angle were correct.

Once everything fits correctly you attach them to the spacers with a bit of wood flour thickened epoxy and clamp them down again. I put a small piece of plywood between the clamp and the lip so that it didn't leave an imprint. I also put a small piece of plastic between the extra plywood and the lip so that the wood didn't get epoxied to it.

Then once that is attached you put a piece of fiberglass tape over the seam where the two lips meet in the back and front of the cockpit.
