After you have added tags the the front and aft deck
parts, check that the tags do not interfere with any
parts of the hull.
Now glue and align the bow deck parts together. Do the same for the
aft deck parts. After the deck parts are dry, sand
the deck center seam. |
 |
|
Now tape the aft decking in place. Align the deck
with the transom and with the marks you made earlier.
Note in the picture below that the deck fits into
position on the hull. |

After you have check the alignment, remove the aft deck
and then glue into position. I used clamps and
tape to keep |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
the deck from moving while
the glue dries. If you use epoxy, I recommend that
you use 30 min epoxy. This will give you time to
align the deck before the glue sets. |
|
|
|
After
you have installed the aft decking, install the bow
decking using the same steps as you used for the aft
decking. |

NOTE:
in the picture above, I used the taped together
superstructure to check the deck opening before the glue
had dried. Although the taped together
superstructure is not it's final size, it does help to
ensure it will fit properly later in construction. |
