A LITTLE TIP

When you are joining the false keel parts together, I believe its useful
to unscrew the boat from your build board,clamp the pieces together and wait untill the adhesive is dry before screwing the hull back down on your board.
If you don`t there is a danger the hull will stick to the board with adhesive seeping through the join.Wink Cool

Another way is to cover the board with cling film,that way you just peel it off when all gluing has been done.
