Osmosis Posted March 10, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 10, 2020 I am currently building the Midwest Peterboro Canoe. I want to make sure that the finished hull comes off of the frames cleanly. I was thinking of giving the frames a coat or two of wipe on poly prior to starting the assembly. I will be using PVA ( Titebond ) will the poly prevent the glue from adhering to the frames? Or is there a better more proven method? Or am I just over thinking it as I usually do? bruce d 1 Quote Art Smith Current Build: E.M.

Justin P. Posted March 10, 2020 Share #2 Posted March 10, 2020 I used wax on the frames myself. grsjax and mtaylor 2 Quote Current: US Brig SYREN - Model Shipways - Scale 1:64 Completed: HMS TRITON - Cross Section - Scale 1:48 / Gallery Secret Vessel MOREL - Master Korabel - Scale 1:36 / Gallery 18th Century Armed Longboat - Model Shipways - Scale 1:24 / Gallery HMS BOUNTY Launch - Model Shipways - Scale 1:16 / Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wefalck Posted March 10, 2020 Share #3 Posted March 10, 2020 If have used wood-filler on the frames or the solid core and then a good coat of Teflon-spray. mtaylor and grsjax 2 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Cleek Posted March 23, 2020 Share #4 Posted March 23, 2020 1. Paint on melted parafin (wax - available in supermarket or hardware store under "home canning supplies.") 2. Best option, cover entire framework with plastic cling-wrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osmosis Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted March 23, 2020 In the end I wound up applying a couple of coats of wipe on poly. As you can see the building frame stayed nice and clean. Clearly visible glue residue inside the hull but not a drop of glue on the frame. BobG, bruce d, grsjax and 3 others 6 Quote Art Smith Current Build: E.M.
