Deck

I started to glue the deck together.  I am using “SABA” products.  The instructions on Robbin’s Timber website (where I got the wood) are very good.  http://www.robbins.co.uk/marine/product_guides.asp and I am following the instructions.  I degreased everything, then applied the glue.  It does say to spread the glue to a minimum thickness of 2mm which seems quite a lot to me, but I tried my best.  I spread it all out onto the plywood template using an old flexible surfboard fin.  This worked really well as an improvised spreader.  Next I fitted the pieces together and clamped it all to a piece of slate, which is perfectly flat and solid.  I hope it hasn’t moved slightly with cramping.  Takes 24 hours to dry.
