[frankv510]

I did a quick search and didnt see what I was looking for. I need to put some inserts in the bilge area to,hold down water box and gas tank. Whay should I use for inserts? Should I use 5200 to secure them?
Thanks in advance

Check with Brian216 with rage composites. He made those for my brawler hull. And may sell you some

We pack the threads with clay or wax. Then it's easier to clean out. Pure resin gets brittle by itself, try adding some 1/4 chop strand and cabosil to the mix. Looks good!

Stock kawi hulls just used wood screws into a chunk of epoxy. I agree t-nuts are the way to go but the kawi method is also effective.

Yeah thought about chop after I made them. If they get me through summer , I will do them over in the winter. I used duct tape on the bottom of the t nut to keep threads clean.
