I am getting ready to glue the deck onto my Osprey Double. I think I am ready to go, but would like any last minute advice anyone may have. Do any of you use a few wires to keep the deck aligned until the epoxy dries? Should thickened epoxy be used first or just regular unthickened epoxy?

Thanks in advance. I have learned a great deal from this message board. I'm even beginning to think about the next kayak to be built!

Thanks, Tom
