Bluenose 1:100 by Amati

"Well, I guess I must be impatient in this area. I turn on the water in the sink (very hot) and hold the section of the Plank that I want to bend. Then after holding it there for about 2 to 3 min, then I will take my hands/fingers and start to slowly bend the plank while the plank is still under the water (of course keeping my hands from being burned by the hot water)."

I have found this to give almost immediate results. I need to buy one of those hot planking benders, but I am finished with the Planking now !

Excellent advice. I will attempt to duplicate. RDN1954 "for high curvature planks, I would soak the planks in water, let them dry in the curved position, before bonding them"
Is hot water better than cold water?

Since the curvature of the Bluenose hull is very benign, soaking in luke warm water is okay. Clamp until completely dry.
You can use the same procedure for the monkey- and buffalo rails, which are to be added later.
