The First new deck core going back in

I am using 1/2" balsa core that comes in 2' X 4' sheets of small squares that allows it to be cut up into just the right size



This is the  first 6" x 24" section which is backed up with 1/8 Masonite covered in wax paper to keep the core flat against the deck

I found bundles of 48 x 48" sticks at home depot for 6 dollars and it seems to have worked out well i will work on two more sections tomorrow  as i want to get to deck stiff again before i remove any more core

So far mixing up 6 OZ of  epoxy at time is working out well and i am allowing it to soak into the core and then giving another coat before placing it on the hull
