Got my deck all cut out today and have some questions. I left a 2" lip around all sides to attach the new "cleat" for the new deck but the core thats left in the 2" piece is wet. What to do now? The Potter putty that is left on top of the stringers looks like it serves as a leveling tool as well as an adhesive so do you want to remove it? The rear half of the deck was cored with end grain balsa and the forward with plywood 1/2". Is this the norm?
