Starboard side inner hull takes shape

Here's a little progress on the starboard side inner hull foam. I fitted pillow cases over a couple of 40 lb. bags of wood pellets and they act as devoted assistants to help hold the pre-heated foam strips in position. (I pay them by the hour).

I'm also using temporary 2in. x 2in. x 1/4in. plywood squares with one sheet rock screw in the middle to hold the foam against the stringers until I screw the foam in from the outside.

When I'm ready to fare the foam, I'll remove them and go at the whole deal with a variety of sanders. After that, I'll lay the 24 oz. triaxial glass.
