Glued in all blocking (EPS) with Gorilla Glue – makes a mess but that can’t be helped. Strips going down pretty easy as I have some experience and learned a few tricks. Probably won’t post anything again till topside fully striped as basically a repeat of bottom.

Glueing EPS handle blocking

3 or 4 blocks shaped and glued in position

This is where handle will mount

Center Strip In – bridged across blocking – worked nice

Aft – Wanted extra force applied here

Same as bottom, easier now with experience

Nose – Will be cut back about 4 inches for solid block

Aft End – flat bottom, curved top
