Patrick, i did write a comment the other day, but deleted it, as i was stating the obvious, and we both realised it was going to result in a loss of your hard work (partial loss anyway), i presume the wales will go on next, and then rework the waterline, i used Medium c/a and even removing the tiles leaves a lip of glue that needs removing before you can place the tile next to it

also have you done a covering over the tiles, which will affect the colouration 

 

All the best

Hi Jerry,

 

Glad to have been of help,your replacement looks fine.

 

@ Kevin,in that pic you posted those snatch blocks would not work either as the entry for the rope appears to be covered over. Has to be clear so the rope can be dropped straight onto the sheave.

 

regards, Dave

thats an interesting point, i took the photo from Gil Middleton's build log

i think the card that you are using is briiliant, prior to glueing , are you making a duplicate for the other side?
