Teak capping of forward rail epoxied

Difficult to complete with the temperature at the moment. West Epoxy says 15c is lowest for cure. A visit to Blokker and for €27 a heat pad for under the pillow. Only stays on for 90 mins by default so a few trips back and forward to reset the thing. I was going to try with hot water bottles but this item seems to have future utility. The praying stool (pulpit, the stainless frame at the bow has now been bent back into shape by the “stainless guy” and is ready to fit. I’ll take some pics and post them shortly. Another step forward.
