I am at Vasa build pack 2, stage 16 reinforcements and a decoration. Up to this point the instructions/pictures downloaded from the DeAgostini website have been clear. I use Titebond II glue in all applications. When bending wood shapes I score them then presoak them in a vinegar and water solution to aid in bending. I clamp the damp pieces in place and let them dry-usually overnight.
Any suggestions? Tools? I'm not sure a bend board like I saw at Micro Mark would be helpful.
BTW, I'm reserving the metal decorations for later as they require another set of skills.
