Hi everyone and anyone,
After a failed attempt at attaching the plywood deck base of my Swift, I was dam close to chucking it away....BUT, I was able to remove it before the glue grabbed and pulled the few nails out that I actually was able to install.
I micro waved water to boiling, got the plywood deck moistened, then microwaved them both together about two minutes more....... the plywood was still slightly damp and seemed reasonabley pliable.
so I got it down nicely along the long axis of the frame but couldn't get the ply to conform to the deck "crown".
what gives?
Or should I just build barges........
Should I build a steam box??? Any plans available??
Any tips again appreciated.
Thank you,
Steviedean
