With all four new deck panels now glued down the next task was to trim off the excess overhanging around the edges. The new deck panels were rough cut to shape - we had deliberately oversized the panels by a couple of centimeters. With the panels all glued in their final position we could now trim the edges back to within one millimeter of their final size. We trimmed the deck edges using a small router with a flush trim bit and a piece of sheet steel to act as a stand-off guard against the hull. The edges will be further finished by hand planing.
