Heyward

I didn't discover this problem with the deck wood not sticking until later, after I'd finished the foredeck. I noticed the very front had a bow in the middle and the front corners peeling up slightly. Not sure what to do now. I've clamped it down overnight hoping this causes the glue on the wood to finally set. If this doesn't work, what do you suggest? Only the first one and half inches are slightly peeling. Think it possible to carefully lift and slide some glue stick glue in it with a wooden paddle made from a popsicle stick (after I sand it very thin) or with flat toothpicks? Meanwhile, I'm on the first engine and pistons. I'm struggling with getting those pistons to lay in place while attaching the other side. I'm thinking about removing the crankshaft and re-affixing it after I mate the two halves. I've also noticed the two halves don't want to mate, as in they didn't index the same. I've examined them and they look correct individually using the index pin. But when I bring them together, they are definitely not indexed the same. Thanks for any advice.
