polyurethane adhesive
Daniela,
You will find doing the job correctly once is much better than doing twice or more. Please remember the forces that will be involved, as the windlass must be through bolted to a substantial beam under the deck. The base will have to be solid to withstand the compression loads, flat on top and shaped to the crown of the deck underneath. If large pieces of stock are used, they could split over time. The best way to do this is to first make a shape template to capture the crown, then laminate properly sized planks of 1 to 2 inches in thickness preprofiled for the deck crown with epoxy and clamped to cure. When cured, finish as you wish. If the deck is teak, cut a rebate at the deck line and seal with polysulfide sealant. Please remember to alternate the grain, plank to plank, when assembling the lamination. Steve "Daniele Fua" wrote in message . .. Would you guys agree on the use of one-part polyurethane adhesive instead of two-part epoxy with filler for gluing several (4) pieces of 1" teak wood planks in order to make a properly shaped base between the windlass and the deck? Thank you in advance Daniel |
