Snow Posted March 4, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 4, 2020 Hi all just building the amati victory vanguard and it says use superglue ,being 1mm I think it would be hard with wood glue .anyone had any trouble gluing 1mm on 2nmd layer with superglue and I'm wondering if the bond is secure for a very long time Cheers snowy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidG Posted March 4, 2020 Share #2 Posted March 4, 2020 Some builders use CA for their second planking, but there are strong arguments against it. Stains are difficult to impossible to remove (less concern if you paint it) and your are exposed to glue flumes for very long time planking such a big hull, not good for you. What works for me the best, is to apply white glue to the whole plank, also brush it to the edges, then use small spots of CA gel at the ends and each 5-10 cm along the plank to hold it in place while the glue sets. Office clips, clamps, rubber bands, supports pinned to the still unplanked first layer are also help to keep your plank in place.

Snow Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted March 4, 2020 Thanks mate yeah I see what you mean by putting a little bit of ca on but keep to the wood glue. Cheers snowy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTHokiEE Posted March 4, 2020 Share #4 Posted March 4, 2020 Out of curiosity is the extra wood glue needed at that point? After you’ve glued the plank at a set interval it seems like that should be enough?
