Temporary deck molds.
Now that her hull has been glassed its time to flip her over again and begin to build the deck from 3/4 inch cedar strips. This makes the kayak a 'hybrid' type, meaning the deck is strip built and the hull is stitch, glue and plywood. We begin by creating molds every so often so that the strips have somewhere to be temporarily tacked in place. I had a difficult time creating the molds and getting them to fit properly, so initially I inquired about purchasing them from CLC, they obliged, but the budget could not afford them. So I took some fiberboard that was laying around and created some molds that I hope will do the job.
