RE: Sterling 48
Tom, here’s the list. The keel, frames, chines and sheers were all assembled with Zap-A-Gap. Gorilla glue was used for all the hull planking. The hardwoods are assembled with 30 minute epoxy from Hobby People. I used Sig Bond for the cabin roof strips. Every piece of wood gets a liberal coat of Z-poxy Finishing Resin. If it is not accessible after it is installed, it is coated prior to the installation.
I could not find the cabin roof side moldings so I made my own from some planks of balsa. The top profile of the cabin sides were cut in to the bottom and the edge profile of the roof in to their sides. Gorilla glue made up the differences. The cabin sides were protected from the glue by masking tape since they will be stained. A dry fit of the windshields was tried. They look promising but will take some work to get it right. It may be time to start some staining. Dan
