just a note. I think screws/nails would have been a good options to keep in place. The keel did move about 25mm (1inch) to the left to stern and to the right toward the bow. Had i not been checking it very reg it could have been a painful mistake. It worked well in the end i just had to watch it until the epoxy was more tacky.

then to fillet it on. I used a small radius as it is not a large keel and no glass. As someone said in another build, If it falls off the boat is easy enough to flip and add another.

The next step is to sand this layer smooth (240+ is the recommendation) and start top coating.
Also Photo bucket is not hosting for free, so I started Image shack but it appear that you only get a short free period as well.
It has been recommended to start a gallery here but i have looked around and cannot figure it out. Can anyone spell it out in luddite terms or share a link on where it has been explained elsewhere?

Thanks Jef.
Can you give me any tips on how to start/upload to a bateau gallery?
