There will be no seams as 1 sheet goes in the right, 1 sheet goes in the left and in the middle will be the 2 sliding doors that when open each one will be behind each side. Both sides will be faired before installation as you say its much easier on a table. Using epoxy.

Re: Aft bulkhead repair/replacement
Can't wait for the progress photos.
We've done a few similar projects where we got large panels all the way into primer with the sides taped off for the tabbing and filet, that way you only have to prime the edges when installed.Last edited by Cricket; 03-25-2020 at 03:24 PM.

Re: Aft bulkhead repair/replacement
Cricket, here you can see how it will look. Another similar piece goes on the other side and the doors right in the middle.

Re: Aft bulkhead repair/replacement
Well, this escalated quickly.
The lower was severely compromised as well and I foolishly decided it had to come out. Man what a suck job this has turned into. I was hoping to just cut the lower bulkhead out and use it as a template for the Coosa. But as Mike Tyson said "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face."

If anybody wants to know what's behind the bulkhead on a 36 now would be a good time to ask.

Going through this "fun" on the 34 now. Project is stalled now. Busy with work and hot out. Will finish this fall and hope to splash in January.
