Hello,

I built a Glen-L 14 a few years ago and only recently decided to install
splash boards. I cut a compound miter on two pieces of mahogany to give it
that forward sweep. Then I glued them end to end to form the V shape. I
laid them on the deck of the boat and scribed the contour of the deck onto
the boards. Then I carefully removed the material with a block plane. The
assembly lies close to the deck, but there doesn't seem to be a good way to
get it to perfectly match the contour of the deck. There are small gaps (or
large depending on your perspective, 1/8 in.). I will probably attach it
with screws from the bottom.

Q: Do I need to get it perfectly fit, or can I simply put some sort of
bedding compound down that will fill the gaps? If there is a bedding
compound, what is it? Should I use epoxy with filler or should it be
removable for future repair? What is the traditional or common way to
address this issue?

Thanks,
Brian
