Steve is right. His way is a very simple and efficient way to do it. I would also recommend that you bevel cut the bulkhead about 5 degrees to accomodate the taper of the hull. This will give you a tight fit fore and aft of the bulkhead. I also always use hot melt glue to fix the bulkhead in place before I use the sealant. The 3M 5200 is wonderful but it has a cure time of 3 days to a week for complete cure. If you're in a hurry, try a sealant called Lexel. It has a cure time of 12-24 hours. It's not a "bomber" as the 5200, but it's a close 2nd. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
