Only 2 of the boards were dry, so here is what I got done today.......

First, I highly recommend this stuff, it has a good nozzle fr a easy controllable spray. 3-5 min tack time. super sticky as well.



These are the support boards for the bow seat.







Hop your all had a great weekend!!

Ditto on the blue, very nice. I used 3M super 90 to put my carpet in. They make great spray glue, but I haven't seen that one before. Where did you pick it up?

Tip on the Spray glue...Pull the nozzle after each use and give it a bath in Mineral spirits. It'll keep it clean and working like new for each use!!! I also use the Super 90 and have never seen what you're using. Let me know when you get ready to do your foam work. I got some tips for you on that as well. Do you have a Band Saw??

Hey Sam, they fit the bow back plates with the retaining clips I had to remake due to intergranular corrosion. the clips fit in the up direction...kinda of backwards than what you would think.....







The top of the clip goes to the top of the hole....bottom of panel/pleat side fits in the recess/ledge.....
