Hi, I am new to all this, and this is my first one. I have started the assembly before I come across this group. So I have lots of questions.
1. The materials I received has 3 sets of strakes. The 1st set call "1st planking strakes is named "samba", with a dimension of 1.5x5x500, the 2nd set is "Hull 2nd planking vaneers, and is walnut color with a dimension of 0.6x5x500, the 3rd set is for the main deck planking of Mukali color (like Plywood color), with a dimension of 0.6x5x500.
The Samba materials seems to be much thinner than 1.5, and I am not sure if I should use it for the 1st planking, as I see for other all builds, it seems Mukali is used, instead of this Samba.
2. I already glue the deck to the frames, and discovered my deck is not straight, i.e. sink a bit in the middle. Do I need to add addition materials to even it out first before I do the planking?
