I have a question for builders and users of nesting boats in general (I'm building an Eastport Nesting Pram) having to do with bonding the carriage bolts to the take apart bulkhead. As I possess a certain talent for complicating the simplest instructions, I've found myself wondering whether I should back up and start over, and so I'm asking others what they'd do! To make a long story short, the instructions direct the builder to prepare the fore and aft bulkeads by drilling and filling the holes, then redrilling with a countersink to fit the bolt heads. When the time comes, the countersink is filled with epoxy/fibers/silica bonding mix, and the bolts (waxed)are pushed through and the handles on the opposite side are tightened down to ensure everything sets up straight. In my build the bolts all set up straight, but I tightened them down too much, drawing the bolt heads down into the countersinks. Some of the adhesive oozed up around and over the heads leaving them partially buried, and by the time I figured out this had happened there was no way to back the bolts out without completely starting over, which I talked myself out of. As I'd waxed the bolts only enough to make sure the ends in the aft bulkhead wouldn't bond to it, and very carefully to avoid leaving gobs of wax where it wasn't needed, I decided (hopefully) the overtightened bolts would have drawn some of the glue down into the bolt hole below the countersink, instead of just squeezing it out the top around the heads. When I checked the next day it seemed so: the oversized drilled-and-filled bolt holes in the fwd bulkhead were almost all nicely filled, which made me feel better about the "plug" of epoxy that's supposed to be under the bolt heads being a little shallower than the designer intended. I hope this makes sense first of all, and second, what would you do (besides cursing your carelessness)? This assembly has to deal with a lot of stresses and while I don't want to overreact to a minimal departure from the plan, I don't want the boat breaking in half when it's not supposed to! Your wisdom is greatly appreciated.
