Jackie Posted 7 hours ago #1 Posted 7 hours ago Hey ya’ll! I’m currently working on the bulwarks on a Buccaneer by OcCre and I am really struggling with two specific issues. 1. Getting the posts that hold up the bulwarks for the railing to be all the same length. 2. When trying to sand down the posts to get them to be even lengths the buggers keep snapping off (I’ve tried using wood glue and high performance adhesive) I’ve attached a photo. Any suggestions are welcome. TYIA.
GGibson Posted 7 hours ago #2 Posted 7 hours ago (edited) What are you using to sand them down? A sandpaper block may have too much back & forth force that it is breaking the glue adhesion. Do you have a Dremel or similar tool that has the round sanding discs? That always worked well for me to knock down post heights. And, sand down to the top plank on the installed bulwarks.
