  1. Hello All, I am building the Occre Santisma, getting to plank the hull, I am watching several videos and everyone is either using Cobbler Glue or supper glue for planking the hull. Can we use White glue for planking a hull? I am terrified of using CA or super glue as they run all over and also dry too quickly giving you no time for adjustments and also no mistake should be made! I know using white glue will take longer and need a lot of clamping technique, but like the fact you have some time. Also, any difference in general between super glue and Cobbler/Contact glue? Instructions say use Cobbler glue not super glue, I am not sure if they are the same indeed. Thanks a lot for your help, in advance.
  2. @Jaager Thanks a lot, this is great information, I am building Santisima Occre so I think the hull planks are Mapelli strips, I am not that advanced to know if the wood specie has open pores or not, But learning here, I can literally use Shellac on Bare wood as sealer and finish and I really like it. I know you can use Polyurethane also for sealer and finish altogether, But I think Shellac is easier to use, I can be very wrong though!
  3. Thank you very much, you use Shellac on wood sealer or it acts as wood sealer itself? My other question on Shellac is, is it Matte finish or gloss?
  4. Hello All, I am a new member, what a great website and community, happy to be a part of it now, I am working on my first model ship, Occre Santisima Trinidad, The hull planks are Sapelli, they have a very nice natural look to them, almost same as the photo (just an example I found on internet, this is not my build, it is too good to be be my build! ) I am sharing and I don't want to paint it, just want to varnish it Matte to show the natural wood but also protect it. My question is, when it is completed, Are you supposed to use any wood sealer and then Varnish or just couple coats of Varnish does the sealing and protecting? Also, I desperately need recommendations on Varnish and Wood sealers, I was looking on Amazon US and there are so many options but need some specific recommendations! Thank you all.
