Using a 12 mm ply off cut from one of the frames I attached a 3 mm ply panel the size of a sanding sheet with glue and silicon bronze nails. Being a hot day the fast cure West epoxy was cured in a couple of hours and I attached the 80 grit paper with Sika high strength spray contact adhesive. All that was done between morning tea and lunch.<br \/>\nA big advantage of the radius chine construction is that about three quarters of the length of the chine is a constant 800 mm radius so the curved torture board can be used to good effect along a lot of the hull. The hard backing to the middle of the torture board is very effective in taking off the high spots where layers of paint have overlapped.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1020\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3gwiz.com.au\/passion_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/2015-10-12-13.13.41-1.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1020\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1020\" src=\"http:\/\/3gwiz.com.au\/passion_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/2015-10-12-13.13.41-1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"The curved torture board sitting on the radius chine of our Didi 40 Cr\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gwiz.au\/passion_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/2015-10-12-13.13.41-1-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.gwiz.au\/passion_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/2015-10-12-13.13.41-1-1024x579.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1020\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The curved torture board sitting on the radius chine of our Didi 40 Cr<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1021\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3gwiz.com.au\/passion_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/2015-10-12-13.14.58.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1021\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1021\" src=\"http:\/\/3gwiz.com.au\/passion_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/2015-10-12-13.14.58-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"The curved face of the torture board.
