Greetings,
I am close to the point of completing the hull of my ship. It is 2x5mm Beech planking with African Walnut & mahogany trim. Per good results with past wood working projects, I have chosen Watco Danish oil for my build, but I have never had to glue anything to my projects. I oiled & PVA glued some scrap pieces & after 24 hrs of drying, I could not pull them apart. What about long term adhesion?
From Youtube, I see builders oil in stages & then only use CA to glue additional wood pieces to the hull. Wouldn't PVA glue be much better, or am I over thinking it? Does anyone ever wait until the hull is completed & then oil everything at once?
Thanks,
Mike
