kscadman Posted August 28, 2014 Author #31 Posted August 28, 2014 Gahm, I'm starting to lean toward using this technique on my Syren long boat. I've been sanding on the lifts for what seems forever and it doesn't seem like I've made much progress.

kscadman Posted September 1, 2014 Author #32 Posted September 1, 2014 I'm halfway thru the planking and it hasn't been without its trials and tribulations. I was using the head post template but for some reason (me, of course) I didn't get the garboard and the plank next to it in the proper place. But I corrected this with the third plank. I tried to remove the garboard and second plank but I've been using carpenters glue since its stainable. Unfortunately its also WATERPROOF so I couldn't remove the planks and re-position them. (Hello wood filler) The good part is that my planks are aligning with the marks on the molds.

usedtosail Posted September 2, 2014 #33 Posted September 2, 2014 Did you try isopropyl alcohol? It should loosen the wood glue. But, wood filler works too. Nice progress so far. - Tom - Current Build: Ochre Beagle Completed: Vanguard Speedy, Vanguard Duchess of Kingston, Stove Project, Ships Wheel Project, NRG Capstan Project, Billings Half Moon, Dumas Chris Craft 1938 27' Triple Cockpit Barrel Back, Panart Santa Lucia , Model Shipways Constitution , MS Bounty Launch , Mamoli HMS Beagle Member: Nautical Research Guild
kscadman Posted September 6, 2014 Author #34 Posted September 6, 2014 Tom, thank you for the tip. I used the isopropyl alcohol and I was able to remove all the planks. One plank did split toward the bow. Now its time for clean up and repair.

usedtosail Posted September 8, 2014 #35 Posted September 8, 2014 You are welcome Richard. And if you ever need to loosen CA glue, acetone works well. - Tom - Current Build: Ochre Beagle Completed: Vanguard Speedy, Vanguard Duchess of Kingston, Stove Project, Ships Wheel Project, NRG Capstan Project, Billings Half Moon, Dumas Chris Craft 1938 27' Triple Cockpit Barrel Back, Panart Santa Lucia , Model Shipways Constitution , MS Bounty Launch , Mamoli HMS Beagle Member: Nautical Research Guild
