Again this plank will be the odd one out and as such should be treated separately. However this time reduce the width a little so the joins between the next plank and this one don’t sit on top of the first layer join. In other words stagger the joint. Eventually the joints will coincide with one another due to plank creep, this is unavoidable so don’t worry about trying to correct it with a narrow or wider plank they will separate again as the planking progresses.

If you find the first layer of planking to be as you would wish but still want to go with the second its just a matter of following the first layer, again remembering to stagger the garboard plank as you start similar to the above paragraph. Work carefully plan well ahead and check frequently, after each plank is a good idea. Make sure the planks are flowing gracefully, don’t bend a plank laterally, and don’t glue it down until you are really sure the plank is lying correctly. I try to use carpenters glue for this operation as its slower setting and more forgiving. Use a little CA on the ends if you wish, both glues mix quite happily but remember CA works fast.
