Wing walk ply question.

My son and I finished a small boat last year, using 1/4"
Chilean Pine plywood, and we put some impressive curves in it. See this
picture of an identical boat:

Mine also calls for 1/4" but only from the front spar to
the back spar, since I have flaps. Laminating 2 peices should
be ok but I wouldn't us an 1/8" trowel. I would spred the glue
around with a popsicle stick or scrap wood, quite a few clamps,
and straps of wood to put on top. Clamp one end, then start
clamping every couple of inches until you reach the other end.

OK. Here's what I'm thinking now. I use a couple of 3/4 ply ribs as a
mold with holes drilled near the upper edge as a place to locate the
clamps. A few pieces of wood across the underside of the ply to keep it
from sagging and a few pieces clamped right on top of those to ensure a
good contact between the two glued surfaces. the width is only 12 inches
so I'm supposing the two pieces would have adequate surface contact
(i.e, no gaps) and I should end up with a molded walkway..
