Finishing Details  



Roger's Notes:  The 1" piece of basswood will be used to mount this buoy on the cockpit roof, as shown on the plan. As an alternative, you could leave this piece out, notch the front of the cockpit roof, and glue this buoy to the windshield frame, as shown. If you decide to do this, ignore Steps #271 and #272.

     


Sand and prime then
paint the buoys the color of your choice at this time.

Here I have masked off the "white stripe" and will spray a final red top coat of the buoys.

Drill a 1/8" hole through the cockpit roof for the buoy, at the location shown here and on the plan. Taper the end of the mount on the buoy. Glue the buoy into the hole in the roof with a small amount of CA.


 


Buoys

You can build three buoys from the materials included with your kit. They should all be constructed at the same time, using the  steps listed below.

You will need the parts illustrated in your manual to complete this sub-assembly. The pre-shaped buoys are in the Accessory Bag. The 1/8" square basswood is in Bag Number Two (#2).
