Transom, seat boxes, rear seat/compartment bulk head continued.

Here are some photos showing the seat boxes, rear bulkhead, and transom glued up/fiberglassed.

Here are the seat boxes glued up, and corners routed with a 1/2" round over.

Coating the inside with epoxy before filleting and adding glass tape to corners. 

Fillets were made of an even mix of wood flour and cabosil.

I pre-cut the glass tape for each joint, laid it out on poly sheet and precoated with epoxy.  I then laid the wet tape in place along the joint.  This method worked out great.  In the past I've laid the tape in place and wet out after with a brush and roller.

Adding a tripled up top lip to the rear former.  This wasn't in the plans,  I just wanted to add a bit more rigidity to the top where the seat will rest.  I rounded over the bottom edge and added a fillet before glassing.

Tripled up and filleted bulkhead.

Completed rear bulkhead.

The transom is glassed and cut, ready to fix in place.
