Prepared Hatseflats for glueing the decks.

sanded the deck stringers. Used the dremel tool to sand down the port stringer in the bow and for other hard to reach areas.
installed the inspection hatches and added bungees to keep the hatches on the boat.
tied bungees for the opening hatches to the bow bulkhead and the aftmost bulkhead.
sanded the glue areas on the insides of the deck once with 40 and 80 grit.
cut glass tape to join the decks and sides.
glued the decks in place. Started with aft deck, then the fore deck and finally the bridge deck. Liberally coated the contact areas with poly-pox 700 glue. Used 180 gram mixture for each operation with a small spoonful of glass bubbles for extra volume.
glued the sides of the plywood as well.
weighted the decks down with bricks and tiles.

I had planned to add fillets and glass tape but the glueing already took two hours.
