src Posted April 12, 2015 Share #213 Posted April 12, 2015 Rich, That is extremely unfortunate!!! Was that a water based paint? It looks like the wood swelled on you. I am assuming its the same paint you used on the other side, what did you do different? Maybe let it sit overnight and see what it does? If it stays like that it looks like you're re-sanding unfortunately. Hopefully somebody has a better suggestion.

peterwwebster Posted April 13, 2015 Share #214 Posted April 13, 2015 Hi Rich What a shame. It certainly looks like the wood has swollen with water from the paint. Looks like a rub down and fill job. I know its a bit late but when I did mine hull i primed it with Dulux acrylic primer first so as to seal the filler and minor gaps and rubbed it down ready to paint. I think that would be a way forward. This ship building is supposed to be fun but sometimes I do wonder. It will all be OK in the end and nobody will know about the trouble you had (Except us fellow sufferers) src 1 Quote Caldercraft Victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.F Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share #215 Posted April 13, 2015 Hi guys, Not sure if it was water base paint.. the hull was primed with while paint first.. bloody frustrating. oh well. Is it worth coving the hull in pva, sand and fill. Then resand?? Davecobb 1 Quote Rich.

peterwwebster Posted April 15, 2015 Share #216 Posted April 15, 2015 Is it possible that the planks have curled across their width? That would suggest the wood was too wet for too long and the wood absorbed the water and swelled the grain unevenly hence the curl it could have been damp timber where was it stored ? I would try PVA brushed into the cracks which should get into the cracks and stick them to the first layer of planking. When dry apply a watered down coat over alI. Then I would fill it and sand it and apply an acrylic primer and rub that down and re prime until you are happy with the finish. It all gets cover in tiles so it doesn't matter what it looks like.

Shipyard sid Posted April 15, 2015 Share #217 Posted April 15, 2015 Greetings Rich Yep that's the simplest way to sort it. Brush in pva, and sand it. There is no need at all to put primer on the hull. Good luck .DAVID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich.F Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share #219 Posted April 17, 2015 Hello All, Thanks for the comments and Likes, as always very much appreciated. I have PVA/Wood Glue, the hull, tonight i'm going to sand it, then fill it. I have finished for now, the upper gun fixings and the steps to the lower deck. I'm not going to add these until i have finished the hull copper plating. src and Sjors 2 Quote Rich.

peterwwebster Posted April 17, 2015 Share #220 Posted April 17, 2015 I still think its worth painting the hull in copper so the white doesn't show through the inevitable gaps in the tiling so a coat of primer will hopefully stop any mote absorption and give a base for the copper paint src and Rich.F 2 Quote Caldercraft Victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.F Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share #221 Posted April 19, 2015 Hello All, Thanks for the comments and Likes, as always very much appreciated. After gluing the hull, filling sanding and repainting> I have tarted the copper plates, and I must say they have gone on with ease, probably because I know how to fit them, need more practice mind you..

Well Progress has been rather rapid this week and I Must say, I have taken a bit not note from Roberts Log, ((Thanks)) LOL Every thing also just slipped in to place, To the point I am at the point to I rip off the side I have completed and do it the same as I am doing. The cost of 1500 tiles are about £40. ($60). But Not sure.. time will tell.. Sjors, src and mort stoll 3 Quote Rich.

Tallshiptragic Posted May 9, 2015 Share #237 Posted May 9, 2015 A very thin strip to cover the very top of the plating painted black. I've attached a picture of the has trincomalee where you can see it clearly. I added this to my HMS Diana model also and just finishes it off. Then if there are any small gaps between the plates just touch up with a bit of copper paint.
