Step 6Mix Some Epoxy Glue
It's time to glue the decks on the gunwales.
Put on your gloves and safety glasses. Two squirts each of resin and hardener.
Mix it up. Add an equal quantity of white flour to thicken it up and mix again.
I use an electric drill with a bent wire as a mixer. Mixing by hand is just as good.
These metering pumps are pretty good. It helps that it's 75F out. When it's colder you have to wait a long time for the pump to spring back, and it often gulps air, which screws up the dose.
I gathered a bunch of pandanus keys to use as paintbrushes for the glue. Otherwise I'd have to wreck a store-bough brush every time I made a joint.
