Hi,

While waiting for the Araldite that was being used to fill the various slots in the hull to cure, other work was started.  Because, the sides of the hull were not being pulled in against the transom, the splits having been filled with Araldite the stern deck had become a loose fit in the hull.  A piece of what might be mahogany that once did service as a slat in a door was used to make two fillers for the deck.  A tile cutter fitted with a blade that would cut wood was used to cut the two filler pieces.  A PVA glue was used to hold these fillers to the edge of the deck. Then the adhesive had cured the fillers were filed to size and the deck was varnished along with the wooden propeller shaft cover.

Take care Tony.
