Yes, I found that out by accident as well. Great for holding things that would otherwise not stick.
I use Titebond Thick & Quick a lot since it grabs and sets up quicker but not too quick and it doesn't run down vertical surfaces.

Yeah, I know a few of the capitalized acronyms like; LOL, ROFL, BTW, FWIW, PITA, etc. ... but I asked several people what IDK meant - and nobody seemed to know.
BTW, IDK is an acronym for "I don't know." FWIW, all these acronyms are a PITA at times but YMMV! LOL! 🤣
Great work and a wonderful build log, BTW.

Honestly, I don't think that planking can get any better than this, Glenn! Wow!

Are you making any progress on your Pen Duick?
Unfortunately not, Don, I'm sorry to say. I've just been immersed in cycling, gardening and guitar lately. I'm sure the motivation to get back into will return at some point.

Simply gorgeous, Don!

I'm so sorry that you have been struggling with some health issues, Bob, but I'm glad to hear that you are now ready to tackle the next chapter of your beautiful Winnie build. A lot of us here on the MSW forum are getting up there in our years and health issues can certainly take the shine off the "golden years" when they occur. I wish you a swift recovery and I look forward to continue following your build log in the weeks ahead.

After seeing a summarized build of the funerary yacht of Pharo Kufu (also known as Cheops, builder of the Great Pyramid of Egypt) offered by the Woody Joe company of Japan, I was intrigued enough to order one to examine for myself.
Great review, Johnny! I hope you will be doing a build log for this wonderful model.

I have posted quite a bit of information about schooner sails and rigging in the following link. Some of it may be of use in your build.
Phil has assembled a treasure trove of information about rigging in his topic. It's outstanding!

I've been reading over this topic again and I can't tell how helpful it is to me. Thank you so much for all the time and energy you have put into these detailed rigging explanations. Simply outstanding and one of the most thorough and useful information sources on rigging that I have ever read on this forum.

Nice job! Thanks for all the photos of the topsail. They are very helpful to me in understanding topsail rigging.

The first light coat of WOP and these macro photos reveal additional touch up and additional sanding needed.
Well, Glenn, your eyes must be much better than mine. I can't imagine that it could look any better than that. You're setting the bar very high!
