The wood I used to lay the deck on lower gun deck, Lime wood, was not a god choice, it was to soft, I painted the side and the end of the strips with a marker penn and the ink penetrated the wood, but i dicided that the deck have to stay when nobody could see it after the upper gun deck is in place.
