Liad Posted May 24, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 24, 2020 Hello, Why is it necessary in this part to use contact adhesive (contact glue) to line the inside of the bulwarks. Instead of white glue? thank In ahead Liad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that's just a suggestion in the manufacturer's instructions. Wood glue will do the job just fine, and you can clamp the piece to make sure it fits snugly to the curve. mtaylor 1 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

druxey Posted May 24, 2020 Share #4 Posted May 24, 2020 Avoid contact cement if at all possible! Another thread just mentioned planks springing loose later on....

Chuck Seiler Posted May 24, 2020 Share #7 Posted May 24, 2020 What material are you working with? It appears wood. If so, I agree with above...use wood glue. If cardboard, contact cement is recommended because wood glue might soak in and cause it to expand. For my hanseatic cog cardboard model, I am using contact cement for planks but Elmer's white glue for structural. mtaylor 1 Quote Chuck Seiler San Diego Ship Modelers Guild Nautical Research Guild Current Build:: Colonial Schooner SULTANA (scratch from Model Expo Plans), Hanseatic Cog Wutender Hund, Pinas Cross Section Completed: Missouri Riverboat FAR WEST (1876) Scratch, 1776 Gunboat PHILADELPHIA (Scratch), John Smith Shallop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Seiler Posted May 25, 2020 Share #9 Posted May 25, 2020 Not so obvious. Cardboard, when painted properly, can look like wood. mtaylor 1 Quote Chuck Seiler San Diego Ship Modelers Guild Nautical Research Guild Current Build:: Colonial Schooner SULTANA (scratch from Model Expo Plans), Hanseatic Cog Wutender Hund, Pinas Cross Section Completed: Missouri Riverboat FAR WEST (1876) Scratch, 1776 Gunboat PHILADELPHIA (Scratch), John Smith Shallop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
