Nirvana Posted July 9, 2020 #31 Posted July 9, 2020 Olha, I will continue with English only. But if it's true what you wrote "poem for love of planks" Well, I think that was suitable for the occasion. Planking is a time staking process, but your video made it look so effortless.

Guest Posted July 10, 2020 #32 Posted July 10, 2020 After dry-fitting the deck houses, I began gluing the deck planking with black-tinted glue to simulate the caulking. I made sure that the deck houses did not get glued to them at this stage. After completing this step, I removed the deck houses and sanded the deck with 150-grit sanding paper. I simulated nails with the help of CA glue. I marked the nails, drilled them with .35 mm drill, poured CA over this and sanded the deck for the second time (first with 150-gritt, then with fine, 400-gritt sandpaper). The CA also added definition to the planking seams. Although the kit did not contain one, I added a scupper at the bottom of the cockpit. I finished the deck with two coats of tung oil. Quote

Normally, there would be two drain pipe holes in a cockpit like that one, placed at opposite corners port and starboard. Below, the drain pipes would be crossed, so that the port hole pipe drained to the starboard side and the starboard pipe ran to the port side. This permitted the cockpit to drain completely on either tack. With a single drain in the middle of the cockpit, when the vessel heeled, the lower side of the cockpit would not drain below the center hole. Also, the run of the deck planking is very unusual. Was this as portrayed in the plans? Usually, deck planking will never butt adjacent to another butt. There will not be straight lines of butts across the deck from port to starboard. That is a structurally weak assembly and also difficult to caulk and keep watertight. These are minor notes, but perhaps of help for future reference. Very nice, crisp work! Excellent detail work on the hinged skylight. Thanks for sharing it with us. tkay11, Keith Black and BobG 3 Quote

BobG Posted August 14, 2020 #41 Posted August 14, 2020 I have this model on the shelf and I was thinking of selling it. After seeing your beautiful model, I think maybe I should keep it and build it someday. I love the bright colors.

BobG Posted August 14, 2020 #42 Posted August 14, 2020 I noticed that you covered the deck planks with thin CA and then sanded the deck. After that you applied Tung Oil to the deck. Why do you use thin CA on the deck and then sand it? Doesn't the CA seal the wood and prevent the Tung Oil from penetrating the wood? Quote Bob Garcia "Measure once, cuss twice!"

The CA sealed the wood and added definition to the planking seams. When the pores of the wood are closed - tinting paints and dyes lie in an even color, not dirty it, as is often the case without a base. And, as it turned out in Connecticut near the ocean, there is very high humidity in the summer, the CA does not allow the wood to shrink or expand width the humidity. It's a pity that I found out about it too late, because then I would have covered with CA the casing (Now, as result of moisture expansion, the planks have squeezed out the PVA glue. During the heating season, this was a perfectly even surface). Now I making the masts and will seal them with SA... Quote

I thought that the Tung Oil needs to be able to penetrate the wood. How does it do that if the wood is sealed? Is the Tung Oil more like a polish and does not need to penetrate the wood?

Guest Posted August 16, 2020 #46 Posted August 16, 2020 Like all oils - Tung oil also penetrates into the wood. Therefore, it should be applied several times until a thin layer appears on the surface - but one layer is enough with CA! Quote
