Step D: Bedding the Cradle
Once the paint is completely dry, you can move on to the final step. Bedding compound
can make a mess, so be sure to mask off the area around the wells in addition to the sec-
tions of cradle that might get smudged. Carefully clean all contact surfaces (including the
bolts) with acetone. Then apply bedding compound (3M 4000 UV works well) to the un-
dersides of the cradle at each mount point and along the length of every bolt. Excess bed-
ding compound will be squeezed out when you screw in the bolts; this can be trimmed
away after it has set. The final step will be to remove the masking tape and mount the life
raft onto the cradle. Now you can step back and admire a job well done!
