Glue one of the elevator floor (a) pieces to the side of elevator
floor (b). You will notice that it rests around 0.5 mm above the
surface of floor (b).
The cutter is likely to have burrs at the rear, as circled. The oars will
most likely have burrs running around their edges. Remove any
burrs that you find, using wet and dry paper.
Now, glue the other floor (a) piece to the other side of floor (b).
