Build log for Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack by Don Ricardo
- Thread starter 11320 Titanic
- Start date
- Watchers 7
Been looking up super glue for gluing attachments to the Lobster Smack as I have seen some here mention using super glue. I always thought super glue was for non-porous materials and therefore not good for wood.
Is super glue ok for wooden boat models...if so what type and/of brand? and what consistency as there seems to be three differing viscosities of the stuff.

I think this you tube video from a master ship builder will answer many of your questions

Norwegian Pram has shipped from Florida, should be here by Saturday.
The second one planked much better than the first one, so this should be even better.
The Captain has been banned from the modelling area with her vacuum cleaner. I have been showing my son how bending is done and he might take a stab at building a wooden model and has already been told my stuff is off limits.
Of course when we went to Tennessee to see some of our children, he is the one who locked the cat in where my HMS Alert (paper and card model) and USS Constitution were, resulting in the destruction of both, so I keep a wary eye on him!
