Second Sheer Clamp fitting went more smoothly than the previous. The basic process is to dry fit, wet mating surfaces, thicken epoxy with plain flour (never self raising), fit timber, clamp the shit out of itd and nail it into place.
One Paradox builder suggested clamping pegs to outer edge of the bulkheads to "save your knuckles". I didn't understand what he meant, but did it anyway, and it's a good tip. t definitely makes it easier.
So far I have two 3m pieces on place. And, as usual, I am mightily impressed with the design. The fitting of gun'ls tightens the hull up even firther. Make sure you take the Designer's advice, use plenty of goo, clamp hard and nail every 100mm for a good hard build.
I'm waiting for a delivery of nails before finishing of the Sheer Clamps. Next I'll flip her and plate the hull bottom.
