Boat construction restoration

[Jim Lahey]

What alternative caulk gun adhesives could I use for securing decking onto stringers. PL products?

I ordered some "Six10" west systems epoxy adhesive, but the shipment is delayed.

I need to get the plywood floor in this weekend, to be on a schedule for camping trip in 3 weeks.

Thanks.

Use stainless screws thru the decking into the stringers.

Remember, builders use adhesives to secure plywood to joists, but they also use screws or nails. And floors in houses don't nearly flex as much as a boat hull.

I've read that the PL masonry repair type is best as it is completely water proof and remains slightly flexible when cured. But i personally haven't tried it.
