| Bad port sidedeck. |
| Foreward cabintop was particularly bad, a very flexible top skin. |
| Most sidedeck bad core removed to dry balsa. |
| The bad/wet balsa. |
| Nearly every piece of deck hardware was removed, and the penetrations were overdrilled through the top skin, filled with thin and then thickened epoxy, and redrilled through the plug. |
| Often re-used the cut inner skin, and taped the joint with cloth and biax. |
| One mistake was slightly over-shimming the supports and not checking the deck, resulting in putting a little too much camber back into the sidedeck after curing. |
