So Here She is

I "bedded" or "glued" my sole ply down with resin thicked with cabosil(no chop strand). I sanded my stringer surface and my bildge side surface of my ply were my stringers hit with like a 50 grit paper ( I was trying to create a rough tooth to the glass for better adhesion)). I then filled a gallon ziplock bag with my thickened resin and cut the corner out creating a "cake decorating" bag to apply my mixture. I do all my fillets with the ziplock also, its cleaner and easy to apply. I also was able to screw my sole down, Im sure your trying to keep factory skin on your floor as best as you can with no screw holes.

Thank you for the comments Kracker. I have been trying to come up with a solution to bed the stringers to the sole from underneath doing this rebuild in this way. My thoughts are that once complete, insert the cap in the hull, do a test fit, then lift, "decorate" the tops of stringers and place the cap back in, then fill some bags with water to place even weight over the sole.

My primary concern is being able to lift the cap off in the future for any further modifications. I'm going to see what I can find/mix that will stick, just not really bond. I'm thinking poly resin/cab mix with no sanding to avoid an unbreakable bond.

I am trying something kind of new with the replacement in a rather non-traditional way. I weighed the time involved and thought this may test my fiberglass skills a little less by not having to tie all the original hatch lips/livewell into my new floor. We shall see.
