I am curious what other builders of wooden model ships do. I am build a wooden model ship kit. The vast majority of precut pieces or pieces I will make myself from the ship supplies are wood. The instructions directly me to coat the deck pieces with varnish after I apply the planks. My years of experience doing wood work tells me that once the deck has varnish on it I will not get good glue adhesion to the deck for other wood pieces. Do I switch to a CA glue instead of wood glue?

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
