: Well I epoxied the deck on my CLC s&g. -dave

I built two CLC Mill Pond 13's. On the first one I used sheet rock screws to clamp things down until the pox set. Then I pluged the holes. On the second I screwed on temporary outwales and clamped the oversized deck to them. This avoided holes to plug, but there was a 1' void in the deck joint that I rebonded by shooting in pox and screwing through the deck over the void.

If you had pox squeeze out all along your glue line you should be fine. These boats have years on then and show no sign of separation. Good luck!
