Re: adhesive and filler

I believe I have read that you can use PL adhesive to adhere it to the hull. Also some people have used Peanut butter (see OOPs's post) to adhere it and also to fill the gap. (also known as filletting). Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

You can use the PL premium to glue the deck to the hull and stringers. If the gaps aren't too big you could fill with pl also. You do need to "tab" the deck to the hull with a strip of chopped strand mat and resin along the joint between the deck and the hull.
