#8 & #9 Strake from Keel

5mm worth of Area

The Strakes coming up, I tapered down to 3mm from Bulkhead #2. At the angle that the Strake is coming in, it is actually taking up 5mm worth of space. Next Strake, I tapered even further so I have room for all the Strakes coming forward…

#9 Strake Planed down the Tapers. Ready for the Soaking…

Tapers to Bow
Ammonia

I use 1/4 Cup Ammonia and then fill the Soaker with Boiling Water. I usually let it soak for like 5-6 Hours… But I’ve also let them soak overnight.
