Tonight I glued the keel the the bottom boards. I had to get six more clamps to finish the job and I could have used some more. The 5200 glue took some getting used to and I had a couple small gaps where I didn't get any glue squeezing out, but I filled them in. The only real problem was when the middle of the board between the two ribs didn't touch the keel. I put a board under the deck and wedged it up and that seemed to keep the boards together. Also, I glued the tail block on and secured it from the celing(ran out of clamps). I'm not putting any blocks in because I plan on glassing on the fins and putting the leash in without penetrating the board cavity through the tail, more on that later.
