Default RE: Ragnarok - 65M Trimaran

Float Assembly
Test fit the hulls and decks and make them fit properly by sanding off protruding parts.


Tape the hulls and decks of both floats with masking tape to prevent resin spills stick to the hulls.
Sand the joining surfaces like you have done with the main hull and enlarge the joint surface at bow and transom by sticking some foam tape to them.
Apply epoxy to the joints and assemble the floats. Fix the joints in position by taping with masking tape. Allow the resin to cure and remove the masking tape.


Assembled float

Trim and filler the joints and sand the floats with 400grit sand paper. Your floats are ready for the paint job now.


Next I will install the carbon tube beams and RC equipment
