harlequin Posted May 17, 2016 Author #170 Posted May 17, 2016 ships wheel and binnacle now added.....very little surface area on both the wheel and binnacle to apply glue so mixed a tiny amount of epoxy and applied to an area which cant be seen and then placed onto the deck and allowed the epoxy to run down to the deck to set. hamilton, Martin W, kier and 2 others 5
harlequin Posted May 17, 2016 Author #171 Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) I need a single malt after those two pillars.
