Fuse (cont)
Planking (cont)
Second sheet down put on both sides.
I bevel the top/bottom edges to get a better fit of the two sheets.
The second sheet also cut several inches shorter to stagger the joints for strength.
I trace the former and stringer locations on the back of the sheeting so both the sheeting and fuse get glue on their mating surfaces.
Some pins along the joining sheeting edges keeps the surfaces flush with each other. The severe angle of the pins into the adjoining sheeting keeps the sheeting flush. Too big of a curve and masking tape is needed. No water needed for these sheets as they only have a mild curve. The paint and popsicle sticks evenly distribute the pressure and also keep from marring the sheeting.
