Building Egoist N°1

Phase 2 : Epoxy Gluing...
	Whatever the plate, wood panel were not scarfed but stitched together once temporarily fixed with wood pieces
Chines were then fully epoxy glued from the outside		and only partially glued from inside (they will be finished later once the boat rolled upside up)
	It was then time to close the fore foot	Beware : Plans proved wrong .... (too many drawing errors are made when developping the plates in this part of the boat)
		So the shape of fore plates was directly copied with drawing paper.
Plates were then cut in 2x4mm plywood, bent and stitched.		They are finally not as convex rounded as on plans but rather concave.
	Chines, once unstitched, are sanded before e-fiberglass epoxying Reinforcement fiber glass (a bi-axial tissue 400g/sq meter) is cut at length for each chine
	Chines are epoxy glued (100g/sq meter) and the biaxial (+45°/-45°) e-fiber glass tissue is unrolled over them.
	Fiber glass tissue is covered with epoxy resin (.9 x fiber weight). Resin has to be layed again wherever it may miss and air bubbles are pushed away with a paint brush. Final result is this ugly thing on right hand ...
