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

not when i can go downt to the hardware store and pick up a two part
epoxy for the same price

Thanks to you all, the poll had one unanimous response and I will comply
for su epoxy.
Thanks to Steve for the additional advices: I will follow them too.
My planks are already 1 inch thick which puts me on the safe side and I
will cross the grain directions. I was also thinking of gluing teak
veneer (approx 3/32" thick) on the sides in order to protect the open
end of the fibers.

Or maybe a couple of layers of 1/2 ounce "deck" cloth and epoxy to seal
everything?

Maybe... if I only knew what is a "deck cloth".
I am very keen to accept advices and try new techniques but please
notice that the deck is made of teak and so will be my artifact between
the deck and the windlass: I'd like to have an aesthetically pleasant match.

O.K. I understand.
Just one additional question: and UV? If it needs painting to be
protected then I'd prefer teak veneer.
