Job's done, they're on, glue was a pain to use 3 coats on both surfaces for the 4 D ring patches. 1st coat left 20 mins, 2nd coat left 4 mins and 3rd coat left till tacky (about 5 mins). No adjusting, when the 2 surfaces touched they stuck... scary stuff :scratch
I was running around the 360 painting glue within the pencilled outlines, then onto the D ring patches then around again for the 2nd and 3rd coats. In between using solvent to clean drips and excess glue runs. Bloody nightmare, didn't even get time to sniff the stuff :roll:

Davits have been re strung with stainless cables and the stainless lifting bar is arriving Thursday / Friday so all set to launch in the marina at the weekend if the weather's reasonable, :drive

Post Scriptum

I will post pics of the 360 with the D rings Thursday or Friday as we're away for a few days checking out a marina at Ipswich ( by car as the weather's not great for boating round to the East Coast from the Thames) :no
Hopefully some pics of our maiden voyage over the weekend also :D
