Maury S reacted to druxey in To Trenail or to not Trenail?
Traditionally decks were nailed and the heads countersunk. The hole above was filled with a diamond shaped or round wood plug, grain running the same way as the planking. As a result it is not very visible. Side and bottom planking treenails are far more obvious. My personal preference is no treenails in deck planks, although many models have them.

Maury S got a reaction from Canute in Detecting PVA with UV light
A source is Luthiers Musical instrument glue. Used it for years. A black light shows all the smears that need to be rinsed off.

Maury S got a reaction from Tony Hunt in Emma C Berry by Maury S - 1:48 scale - POF - rigged as schooner
The chainplates are attached to the deadeyes with a pin made from black monofilament line. I touch both ends of the line with a soldering iron set to 240 degrees...just hot enough to partially melt the end and create a rivet to hold it in place.
I'll touch up the copper with LOS and put a coat of WOP on them.

Thanks, Michael. Continued work on iron bands, etc. Not up to Ed Tosti standards, but moving in that direction.
The gammon irons (on the left) look awful at this magnification...I'll clean them up and re-blacken.
Next will be the deadeye straps.
