Mike Y Posted June 14, 2014 Share #62 Posted June 14, 2014 Also, pardon a bit of critics, looks like the second bulkhead from the top is not fully inserted, it looks higher then other bulkheads. Or it was just dry fitted on that photo, not glued?

dgbot Posted June 14, 2014 Share #64 Posted June 14, 2014 Try isopropyl alcohol regular strength. If you can get 99% that would be better. Just keep the joint wet or wrap it in plastic wrap. After a while the glue will disolve.

dgbot Posted June 14, 2014 Share #66 Posted June 14, 2014 Several members of my clubs have been doing the Longboat and have had the same problems. It was discovered that if you only use white glue you can redo a frame or part. One member had to redo most of his frames. By saturating the part in iso alcohol and wrapping it the glue dissolved after a couple of hours. In your case it might no take as long. Do one frame at a time.

fnkershner Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share #67 Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) Dave - Thanks for the tip. I thought I would post some pictures of my variation of your solution. Besides what else can I do while waiting. As you can see I put some Alcohol is a squirt bottle and then I kept the Q tips wet for about 90 min.

fnkershner Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share #74 Posted June 26, 2014 Stunt flyer - Not yet. Sam - No one came! I guess the great weather gave everyone something else to do. But I did complete the fairing and started to shape planks. But it has been a busy work week and I am traveling this weekend. So this build will have to wait until Monday.

fnkershner Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share #75 Posted March 10, 2017 Well guys, remember me? I was the guy who convinced our local club to make this a club project. And as of now I am one of only 2 member who have not completed their longboat. I can't believe that it has been more than 2 yrs since I made any updates to this log. So true confessions time. Planking has been my nemesis for several decades. I keep failing, and so many models end up in the fireplace. I have decided to push forward on this one and hopefully learn from the experience. I also got a friendly nudge from our own Dr. Per. So I am back and trying to complete at least one planking job. The long view of the Starboard side show the very small gap I have to fashion a custom plank to fill. I also discovered the transom was not square so I had to remove and repair that too. I am worried that once I begin sanding the gaps between planks will be very noticeable. For this model I may just paint the outside so that I can fill the gaps with putty. I have enough boxwood for a 2nd model. Maybe I just start over and hopefully have a better result. reklein, Ryland Craze, Jack12477 and 2 others 5 Quote Current Builds - 18th Century Longboat, MS Syren Completed Builds - MS Bluenose, Panart BatteStation Cross section, Endevour J Boat Half Hull, Windego Half Hull, R/C T37 Breezing Along, R/C Victoria 32, SolCat 18 On the shelf - Panart San Felipe, Euromodel Ajax, C.Mamoli America, Its a sailor's Life for me!

Tigersteve Posted March 10, 2017 Share #76 Posted March 10, 2017 Welcome back! This kit is really difficult to plank. Took me a lot of time. Chuck's planking videos helped a lot. Plus all the great build logs. Good news is the build moves along after the planking and fairing inboard are done. I'll follow along.

Spellapeaka Posted April 24, 2017 Share #77 Posted April 24, 2017 Hey Welcome back! I'm just getting back into the hobby myself. Good to see you man. Keep up the good work! Don't judge yourself by the other boat builders masterful planking on this site. I'm sure most of them had similar stumbling blocks at one point or another. I think you do great work and i'm sure this ship will turn out great too. Nirvana 1 Quote Jack of all trades, master of none.
