The deck was finally glued on today! Phew.
After spending a long time in the previous week just getting everything prepped I was finally able to epoxy the hull on today. Started by brushing some epoxy on the top of the hull; along the sheer rails, the tops of the frames, the tops of the shroud backing, etc... on everything that wasn't already epoxied and that would need to adhere to the deck.
Then put additional epoxy (but not so much that it would run) on the underside of the deck.
Used a ton of blue tape and some clamps to hold the deck down until tomorrow.
I won't know until tomorrow if the deck will show some waves where the tape was, but I'll just have to risk it I guess. Hopefully it won't be too bad or noticeable.
I'll need to put some filler along the seam I'm sure, but shouldn't be too bad.
More tomorrow when the tape comes off. Fingers crossed!
Peace!
