I had already cut out the floor panels so now it's time to fit them.

I started with the centre panels above my newly fitted keel stringer. As you'll remember I ran fiberglass up the sides of the stringer so the top of the stringer is still exposed wood. I cut two strips of mat the width of the stringer and after cleaning all surfaces with acetone I laid the mat along the stringer and wet the mat through. I then carefully positioned the floorboards and weighed them down with my next door neighbour's weights which I have not yet returned.

Next I made a bog from Polyester Resin, Microfibres and Talc and puttied up the gaps around the floor panel. This is mainly to prevent resin from escaping into the bilge when I glass the panel in.

I then pre-cut 4 x layers of mat that fit along the entire width of the floor cavity. I brewed a big batch of resin and glassed the floor panels in, two layers at a time.
