When removing the aft decks, I used a dremmel to cut lateral seams (port to starboard) before and aft of the dagger wells in the decks. This allowed the removal of a mojority of the aft decks without tearing up the dagger well structure. Once inside I added bulkheads in addition to repairing stringers. When repairs were complete, sand clean the over lapping edges of the decks and the hull lip. I used epoxy and a single layer of nondirection cloth between the decks and the hull lip with weights on top to squish it all together when curing.
