Save yourself a lot of time and frustration; Peel off the backing of the wooden deck, spray a clear coat of your choice on the back to kill the adhesive. Once dry, attach the deck to the ship using clear acrylic gel as an adhesive, it will give you plenty of time to adjust and refit, and will dry solid as a rock. Keep a supply of water and q-tips on hand to wipe up any gel that seeps under the fittings and edges before it's dry and you are good to go.
