I have not seen double planking before with the first layer diagonally to smooth out the curves for the second finish longitudinal planks. Maybe this is standard but I am learning every time that I cruise SoS. Best of luck with the steamer. Rich (PT-2)
The combination of diagonal and longitudinal planks is very common on steam boats of British design. Very strong hull.I have not seen double planking before with the first layer diagonally to smooth out the curves for the second finish longitudinal planks.

Hi, everybodyРаньше я не видел двойной обшивки с первым слоем по диагонали, чтобы сгладить изгибы для второй отделки продольных досок. Может быть, это стандарт, но я учусь каждый раз, когда путешествую по SoS. Удачи с пароходом. Богатый (ПТ-2)
Yes. And dry faster and lay by steaming the planks in difficult places.Very good video and service.
One question - is it ironing to dry the wood-glue?
This is due to the high temperature. The applicator does not give this effect. Only a longer process. But we've been doing this for 10 years.THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT I WET THE PLANKS USING COLD WATER FROM THE TAP THEN THE SOLDERING IRON AND GOT NO BURN MARKS AT ALL, IT SEEMS FOR SOME REASON THE WATER SETS UP THE GLUE QUICKLY AND ALSO SERVES AS TO KEEP THE BURN MARKES OUT. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE YOU AND YOURS DON
Were the gun parts in the kit, I don't remember them? Or is this a new option to buy?
