Tony when i tiled the build last year the intentions were to clean it once again after the build was completed and not before, but at that time i thought i would be nearing the end of it by now. i never managed to remove all the surplus glue last time round, but the liquid brasso is working quite well on it it now, much better than the wadding did, its still takes a lot of work though Thankyou Augie thank you my friend

Good afternoon everyone Got some progress done on my build today, the bow work continues, - all the gun port lids are rigged on the port side, and the head timbers are looking a lot tidier tonight, I have still to put a set door on the very forward middle gun deck opening, she always looks a lot nicer in daylight, than my man shed, of which I am going to put a window in possibly in the next couple of weeks Also I sent a bit of time cleaning some of the tiles, with fresh brasso, and as a result, I have managed to clear a lot much surplus glue from the tiles, I am well happy
