I think that I’m ready to install the Stem and the Keel.

I thought I was going to need some Putty for the Prow, but it was probably unnecessary. Hmmm…

I tested the first Keel out and it looked like it was going to fit perfectly.

This is one time that I wish I had a couple more of these DeWalt Clamps.

I got the entire Keel glued on. So far, so good. I was a bit worried about how it was going to turn out but I’m pretty happy with it.

While sanding the Stern section of the Keel, I took advantage of the Sawdust that I was sanding off… I moved them over to where this gap was on the Keel and I filled it with both the Sawdust and White Titebond Glue.

I guess that mixture of Glue and Sawdust is the age old standby for Putty.
