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

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.

Past builds: Prins Willem,  Amati Coca

Current Build: Occre Diana

Thanks mate yeah I see what you mean  by putting  a little  bit of ca  on but keep to the wood glue.
