I am on the list somewhere but watching with BDI's

No caulking on mine. I think Jimski used marker pencil. Havent see others do it.

 

[danielw]

No caulking here either..the marker pencil is a good idea.

Yep, Paul, thanks. You are absolutely correct, I was using a black pencil market 'B' (soft), Lumograph brand. I didn't want it to be too prominent.

 

[Donnie]

Very neat and clean - I can only hope that I can do as well with mine when the time comes.

 

[Jolley Roger]

I used very thin black tissue paper on mine.

My kit is at customs at the moment after 30 days of difficult waiting, so hopefully can start soon, yeaaaaaah.
For caulking I will test blackened pva and blacken it with ink. Never used this before so this kit will be the first test.

Hello guys I covered a little part of the waterways and glued in some spirketting plank

Caulking was used in planking and deck boards to keep water out if I am correct.

So would ship builders caulk keel joints if they aren't exposed to water?

Just trying to understand if caulking is needed and where it was used.

It is possible that caulking was used on keel joints to prevent wood rot to the exposed ends of timbers. Poor mans emoji here "-"
