Bulkhead #3 is one of the two bulkheads that the cross beam gets connected to, thus deserving special attention. At this point I have dry fitted bulkheads 1, 2 and 3. Before glueing them in place I decide \u00a0to add as many of the extra pieces that make the beam box before bonding the bulkhead.<\/p>\n

For many of these joints I am bonding with thickened epoxy and silicon bronze screws<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here you can see the 1×2 reinforcements in place and the 12mm doubler that will help in setting the deck<\/p>\n

Next you can see 12mm knees that will hold the beam bolts in place<\/p>\n

I also added the first brace for the beam box at this time.<\/p>\n

Finally after two coats of epoxy to seal everything up the bulkhead is ready to install.<\/p>\n

\"bh3<\/a> \"bh3<\/a>To install the bulkhead and keep a good bead of epoxy going, I found it helpful to spread the \u00a0sides apart before installing. Unfortunately you can only use this trick moving aft as we go on.<\/p>\n

Clean with water and a scrubbing pad to prep the surfaces one last time, You can tell above how much dust still needed to be removed. Then I clear coated the mating surfaces and added a nice bead of thickened epoxy. Here we don’t care how much oozes out since it will be used to supply the extra epoxy for\u00a0the fillets. Cargo straps tighten things up.<\/p>\n
