Roubaix Posted September 16, 2015 Share #1 Posted September 16, 2015 Hi guys, I'm a newbie here. I don't know if there's a technique archive for double planking. I'm in the middle of building the AL BN2. I finished the first layer of planking, now looking to start the second layer. I don't plan to paint the hull. Only stain and varnish. So I'd like to make the second layer look as nice as it could be. I don't plan to use nails. How can I keep the planks down while the yellow wood glue is drying? Any other technique on how to make the finishing planks look as clean and tidy as possible where they meet the keel would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

mtaylor Posted September 16, 2015 Share #2 Posted September 16, 2015 Some of us use push pins such that the point goes into the framing or first layer. The big plastic part holds the plank in place. There's also planking screws you can buy or make. Canute 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornet Posted September 16, 2015 Share #3 Posted September 16, 2015 Hi Shaun. A while ago I posted a method of making planking screws using clothes pegs. They worked well for me. Check out the link to the thread if you are interested. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/3734-planking-screws-moved-by-moderator/ Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
