Started to chisel and plane the stem. Decided to first make one
stem completely and then to tackle the second one.

All 3 strips which make the outer stem glued on.

Temperature is still not really warm enough
to expoxy so I have used Poly-Pox Harder 455 which can be used down to a temperature of
5ºC for glueing the stems.
The hardener gives a yellow colour to
the epoxy which I guess is OK for glueing the stems to the boat but not
for applying the glass layer.
Added some West systems
filet to make the glue.

The outer stems I made last november do not fit perfectly. Have
decided to make them again!
Fitting before glueing.
This time I am glueing the strips directly
onto the boat. First one strip and thereafter I will glue the other two
strips onto the first strip.
