I just wanted ask a question regarding those special clamps you use to keep the planks on the bulkheads until the glue is dry. where can one get them? I've never seen them before . Are they sold in stationery shops/crafts shops or not? thnx for the reply Hi Constantinos, they are just paper clips. You can find them in stationery shops. You just need 3 clips to produce 2 clips that you can use to keep planks. You will take out arms of 3rd clip and instal them in the other 2  [ Edited Mon Feb 06 2017, 07:46am ] | ||

Arthur   Registered Member #1929 Joined: Wed Nov 30 2011, 03:05pmPosts: 3037 | If you're having to twist the planks, it's usually because you're trying to bend them sideways. You can do that to a limited degree but you should try to let the plank follow the line it wants to along the hull without forcing it up or down at the ends. Lay a plank about 20 - 25mm below your existing planking and see where it wants to go. That will give you an idea of how the planks in-between should run. | ||
