Gluing the stem
Last job before we start Midsommar - gluing all 3 layers which constitute stem.
For that job I use Hempel epoxy which I had rests in my shop. It is already thickened but floats well, fits exactly such application.
Squeezed excess is spread on plywood edges, to seal them from moisture. There will be a heavy bevel to accept planks so I don’t bother sealing the outside edge yet.
Screwed with sacrificial, bronze screws so parts don’t glide on the glue. Some lead-pigs hold all nice and flat. I’ll leave it to fully cure for 1-2 days.
