Sometimes you wish a kit cost more. If the Fantail launch price had been a bit higher, perhaps the deck could have been made out of one bit of wood instead of two halves that have to be joined ?Or at least the die cutter for the straight edges along the join could have been straight ? As it is these are convex and have to be sanded flat to get any sort of glue to hold it. Fortunately I plan on planking the top so any iffy work will disappear eventually.
I used Alphatic resin to stick the two bits of wood together. Then, because the next stage puts quite a lot of strain on it, braced the join with a couple of very thin bits of balsa super-glued in place.
