Hello to all. This is my first post here but I have been visiting this forum regularly. I am working on the Amati Riva which was given to me as a present by my daughter in law a few Christmases ago. Now she wants me to build it for my grandson's first birthday. The kit is the one with the resin hull and has to be covered with mahagony planking. This is the question. What is the best adhesive to use in installing the planking to the resin hull. I have used some spray adhesve but it seems to be attacking the resin and it's still soft to the touch even after one week! My modeling experience is in plastic with one half-finished POB wooden ship

Thank you all for your answers. All are being considered but I am leaning toward slow setting two part epoxy. I will try something else new for me. Vacuum bagging while the epoxy slow cures. I will keep you posted with my attempt. Now to find a warm and airy space to work and not stink up the house. It is very cold in New England nowadays.
