The Deck Part 3

Finally it is time to glue the deck in place. I did not want to put any screws or bolts through my beautiful deck so I had to come up with a way to hold it down. Lots of trial and errors and eventually came up with this. Four pavers left over from the garden make over and a couple of weights from the home gym. I used thickened epoxy as I had done for all of the other joins in the boat. I left it all in place for about a day to make sure that it way firmly in place before I removed the weights.

Once the epoxy had dried I was able to cut the extra ply wood off and finish it off with an electric sander.
