Roof Trimming and Seat Back Decks

I removed the screws that were temporarily holding the roof deck down while it cured. I then took my router with a flush cut bit and started to trim off the the excess. A word of caution is that you can't rely on the ball bearing to guide 100%  where it is cutting. The whole roof is attached at angles, so you have to keep an eye out on where you are cutting! The ball bearing is for flat surfaces. I accidentally took a little too much off of one of the dorade boxes. I will have to take a close look at it, but I think I may need to build it up with some faring compound before I start to lay fiberglass. I also may need to buy a grinder to make the edges of the roof deck flush. I have yet to attempt to use a sander to see how that works on sanding the edges.

Below are few pictures of the decking on and first cut at trimming. Still lots of work do be done.

I also managed to get the seat back decking on as well and trimmed with the router. I still need to do the fine sanding to clean everything up.  I used stainless steal nails with my nail gone and that worked very well.

I used the weights to hold down the decking in areas that I didn't want to use the nail gun. The 3/4 " nails would poke through a little and I didn't want them sticking me in the locker. In the other areas the board didn't want to sit down 100%, so the extra weight held things down properly.

Below are pictures of the finished product and after trimming with a router. I still need to sand the edges up.
