: Jim, If you dry fit the deck onto the hull you'll probably find

: I carved (bandsawed mostly) some blocks from some very lightweight
: 2" thick pine. Could just as well have been cedar. The
: blocks didn't fit perfectly as it's a fairly complex shape to
: fit to, so I slathered them with some epoxy thickened with wood
: flour to fill any gaps.
: Sorry I didn't take a pic.
: I didn't do an end pour.......I think the blocks would be easier
Thanks. I'll dry fit deck to hull with the blocks glued and clamped, if necessary. I'm assuming the blocks go in after the hull is glassed inside.
