I attached the deck to my Kaholo 12-6 last night. All seems to have gone mostly well in re: to gluing the deck to each bulkhead. This was my biggest concern. However, I did notice that in one spot there is some give. Directly above bulkhead #5 on the port side there is about a 3 inch section that gives about 1/8 inch when pressure is applied. On either side of that section it seems like the deck is secured to the bulkhead. Not sure if there was a dip in the bulkhead at that spot or if I didn't use enough epoxy there. In any event I was just wondering how critical it is to get this section glued down. Perhaps once glassed it won't be an issue? Any advice on how to glue it? I was thinking of drilling through the deck right at the bulkhead, injecting epoxy and then applying weights. Thanks for any help!

yes drill small hole and inject epoxy resin apply weight. Epoxy should be thickend a little. you can get syringes from west systems , or hardware store in glue section. Or basting syringes in some super markets. Do so before glassing.
