The deck needs also strengthening as 6mm marine ply is too thin. First all connections and screw holes were filled using epoxy-filler and after sanding a smooth surface was created to apply a layer of glass fiber cloth. The same procedure was followed as with the hull. The cloth was first put in place and soaked in clear epoxy making sure no air bubbles were left between deck and cloth. When that layer was still tacky an epoxy filler was added. We worked in two stages as the surface was too big to do the job in one go (epoxy would harden too much before the second layer could be added).
