Glue


Yesterday, I squirted epoxy into the gaps along the planks. I switched to a different,  slow cure epoxy midway, got confused, and lined one seam with a mix way short on hardner. Luckily I twigged what I had done, scraped it out, refilled with a correct mix, and today everything is set hard. I did not tighten all the wires as much as I should have, and epoxy dribbled inside in a couple of spots, but it could have been worse.

I left the epoxy to set hard today, and spent some time rounding  and sanding the rockers, and trying to persuade the floor to fit. A lot more rasping will be required for the floor I suspect. Could be the bulk heads are ever so slightly trapeziodal rather than a perfect rectangle.

Plenty still to do.
