    I was thinking about this as the best solution. All the pieces will fit well, and I'll be able to glue them in the same spot they're in now. I tried a test of painting carpenters glue over the top to see if it would bond the edges and it seems to have done so. I really appreciate the help. I'll post progress and see what works! Thanks to everyone!

    Hi everyone, I planked my first model, The Terror. I used rubber cement to attach the second wood, the sapele exterior. I want to coat with something to make the wood last longer because I'm afraid the rubber cement will fail after a while. I thought about painting over the top with a watered down wood glue "paint" so it may soak in a little and attach adjacent planks together. What has your experience been? Will the rubber cement be sufficient? Short of a resin/fiberglass coat to really re-enforce my work what do you recommend? I appreciate all your help and advice! Thank you all!

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
