| fixing a new gun-whale strip in place ?? Hi there, I need to fit a new rubber strip around the gun-whale of a fibreglass boat that I have been restoring for some time. I removed the old strip, removed all the old resin holding in place, and cleaned up the joint where the hull and deck join. I don't how many types of these strips there are, but this one is pushed over the fibreglass join and is held in place with epoxy or polyester resin. Now for the question what method/process should I use to fix the new one in place. How do I hold 14 meters of this strip in place or can I do a section at a time. The last thing I want is to stuff this up and end up with resin getting onto the newly painted hull and deck and the rubber strip not looking good. All help with this matter will be greatly appreciated. Regards Bruce ![]() |

| start at the transom in the middle, pop revet or screw it in, some sixaflex to seal and meet where you started, there should be old holes to follow |
