Putting In The Application!


Today I applied the glue that I actually been waiting on. To my surprise the glue started turning yellow. This type of glue, you don't want to get on your skin. It'll take a while to get off because it's like a form of super crazy glue. Certain types of glue you should always wear gloves.

Pinching!

I finished tying down the  "Noodles"  on the bow (front) of the boat. Tomorrow I'll tie down the rest of the"Noodles" that's on the stern (back) of the boat. I'm still adding more adhesive here and there. The "Noodles" are still sticking up, resisting the stress placed on them. Stepping back, what I'm doing really feels surreal.

 Yesterday I finally took the boat out the backyard so I could start working on making a deck for her. What I worked on today was removing the stuffing I packed the boat with. The material, (frond leaves) that I stuffed the boat with was totally unnecessary because the model boat I made totally out of fronds floated extremely well. I was so happy that I finally made the model, after months of trying out different techniques. I went back to the basic fronds and wood glue to construct the model. I had two little helpers who assisted me in testing the model on a small pond. i was so elated that the model float as well as it did. I have to say I'm actually not behind schedule in the launch date for The Auset Fronds. Constructing the boat's deck is the fun part because there's so many things I plan to do to the boat in the completion of building her. I've even found a company that is going to assist me in the patent process. They were really impressed with what I'm doi

.I was able to work on the boat over the weekend. I decided to loosen the binds on both ends of the boat. Hopefully the fronds will stay upright. I attached the fronds at the bow with some metal I made into fasteners. I'm plan on doing the same thing to the fronds at the stern of the boat. In order for me to be able to straighten the fronds at each end, I had to raise the boat higher. The next thing is to add more glue in order to seal all the fronds in place, which will strengthen the hull over all. A rubber sealant will then be applied once all the fronds on the outside of the hull is rock solid.
