Okay guys next we are going to sheet the turtle deck and belly cores.

Using nice and lite 12 gram 1/16x4x36 and 18 gram 1/16x4x48 contest wood, assemble the sheeting panels per Mike's plans. First true the edges by triming with a #11 blade. If your careful and hold the blade at a 90° to the sheeting your ready to go, if not you can make a 90° edge sander from home depot shelving material and stick on sandpaper and sand those edges true. It's not really necessary if your careful with the blade.

Using blue painters masking tape, put together the panels per Mike's drawing. I tape across the seems with small bits of tape to pull it together, then run a long strip of tape along the entire seem. then using white Elemer's glue and a glue syringe run a tiny bead of glue inside the seem. What I do here is to open the seem up by running the seem along the edge of your workbench and folding one side of the panel down. Once you apply the glue, lay the panel flat, wipe away excess glue with a damp towel, lay a piece wax paper on top of the balsa panel and place a large flat surface on top of the stack, I use a piece of MDF board trimmed to size. I then generally place about 50 - 100 lbs on top of the stack just to keep it flat. Let this dray overnight.
