Extensive effort has gone into the development of the shells
provided in this kit. Occasionally one shell may split or crack due
to rough treatment during shipment. If this occurs it can easily
be repaired with glue. Each shell is purposely oversize. This is to
allow you enough wood to work with and attain a perfect fit.
When fitting, cut small portions at a time. Trim the shells as in
FIG. 6.
When fitting a shell, lay it lengthwise on it's BOTTOM EDGE.
If it is not flush, sand it until it is. Tape or pin it in place and
cut along the top center. Do the same with the opposite side.
When both shells fit properly, glue them in place. Masking tape
works well in holding them while drying.
