This past week after work, I managed to get all the roof deck cleats epoxied to the bulkheads. I made sure I cleaned up any epoxy drips a couple of times. I think they turned out fine. This week I plan to start with the block plane shaping them for the roof deck, which I also glued together with a butt joint.

Dorade Boxes
Below are the Dorade Boxes with the roof cleats. I still need to add the blocking on the inside for the mooring cleats that will be installed later on the outside.

Below may be difficult to see, but I applied some fiberglass tape on the insides of the dorade boxes at the joints as well as a piece of tape on the outside corner. I still need to apply another coat of epoxy to completely wet it out.
Roof Deck Panels
Below is where I epoxied the 2 roof panels together. You use a butt joint, which is basically a piece of 1/4 inch plywood 2 1/2 inches wide. I used some weights to hold it down.
Painting Lockers
Over the weekend, I was able to apply 2 coats of Interlux Brightside paint to the locker space. I figured it will be easier to paint before installing the seatbacks. I am also considering drilling the holes for the Gallows bars and installing the supports in the lockers. I got the pattern out and I am working on a temporary piece, so I can drill the holes in the correct space. Below is a picture of the finished painting. I also plan on doing the drain hole for the locker. From looking at other blogs, I can put a hole in the bottom right hand corner next to the transom. I just need to figure out how to do that.
