Which Glue
Old Fart replied to Old Fart's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Come on guys everybody here uses glue, little help please -
Just rec’d my first ship, Albatros by OcCre, they say you need 3 different glues, White or carpenters glue, Fast drying glue, and Contact or cobblers glue, question, do i need all three, thanks

Barry, just ordered the OcCre Albatross today, wondering if when you had a sec, you could go over anything you would do differently, or something that wasn’t in the instructions.Thanks

was happy to find a finished log on the Essex, read where you did not advise buying this kit until revised, i noticed that your post was several years old, to your knowledge have they revised the kit, also i am looking at the Oc cre Essex is it any difference to your knowledge, one of the replies i had on asking if this ship was recommended for first time builders, he said that it was, it would seem from your post that it may not be, your thoughts, if not could you recommend one thanks

Totally new to wooden ship building, i am retired,75, and plenty of time to devote to a new endeavor, have done a lot of reading on the craft, from what i understand picking your first build is critical, so i guess my first question is how to go about choosing my first build. I have virtually no experience in model building, i built plastic car models as a kid, have a fair amount of tools, one of the kits that caught my eye doing my reading is a Essex by Oc cre , is this a good option for beginners, thanks for your time
