What is CA gap filling glue? It took me about one hour to fit the plywood in I have managed to make it fit better with some creative use of strips (jamming into the hole). I still had some very small gaps that were probably due to my cockpit cutout not quite being a fair curve. Live and learn, it will be better on the next boat.
