i started mine about 2 years ago, and like several others have lost all the original information posted at the time, by a server crash earlier this year, so some of the build logs look a little sparse up to that time,as the information had to be reposted., Any information/help required please shout, Caldercraft are excellent at providing lost/missing parts, especially the flag locker inserts hope to see your build progress

lol - i was advised against doing it and still went ahead, came back sobbing after about 30 hours, and did it the way that work for everyone else, that was 18 months ago now

hope this explains it a little better the mico bubble is just to ensure that it goes in straight, we have had good result in using this process, Of course the alternative would be to put the lining in flrst flush to the external side of the hull and then apply the 2nd planking, but i tried that, and did not work for me

sorry the post i was referring to was lost in MSW 2.0 rebuild, as with all the other convo about this subject i have borrowed this poto from canoe21 build i used the process where the lining piece is held between the handle and a piece of wood that when inserted through the hull and turned will position it 1mm from the external side this photo is slightly different one long handle and one peice at the required deph with a spike to hold the lining in place so thet it does not drop into the hull
