First Ply Layer to the Lower Chine

The first ply layer to the lower chine is glued down. Now to stat again with the forward lamination then ply sheets to complete the second bottom ply skin. This should be a little quicker as there will be no clean up time used along frames and stringers.
The air stapler is good for the diagonal  lamination but does not have enough pull for some of the full ply sheets. Easier as I move aft.
Pretty sure I will do 100mm vertical lamination instead of diagonal for the second bow layer. Open to comment on that. It will certainly be faster as the ply lies with less curve if at all.

    Vertical would be ok. Only half the plys verticals...

    Thanks Gary. I can also scarf where the sheet ply meets the lamination and add a couple so the other scarfs do not overlap.
