a Forming coves using filler in the boatbuilding industry includes the following –
coving to compound shaped surfaces such as bulkhead or girder to hull
connections; filler pastes typically made from an epoxy base thickened using
various extenders but polyester vinyl ester and other chemistries may be used in
some situations;
purpose of the coves includes – forming a base to glass tape over, smoothing
corners for high standard paint finish, structural connection of parts, forming an
easily cleanable connection, ensuring a waterproof connection.
Coves may be structural or non structural.
Coves are usually formed using specially custom made knives or tools the size of
which determines the radius of the cove.
b Forming radiuses on external corners, typically on custom deck structures and
moulds, involves consistently rounding the external panel or component corners
and may involve grinding or planning steel, aluminium, timber, plywood,
composite.
c Forming details is typically done using epoxy based pastes to ensure
waterproofing, bonding and strength requirements for actual boats or for moulds.
The details are often used to enable perfect fit or smoothing, fairing or profiling of
composite or metal components, particularly in detail areas of deck structures.

Please note
Providers must be accredited by NZQA, or an inter-institutional body with delegated
authority for quality assurance, before they can report credits from assessment against
unit standards or deliver courses of study leading to that assessment.
Industry Training Organisations must be accredited by NZQA before they can register
credits from assessment against unit standards.
Accredited providers and Industry Training Organisations assessing against unit standards
must engage with the moderation system that applies to those standards.
