In this case I would recommend Chinese ink. I is really cheap an results are wonderfulA little more equipment to test before the bonding of the frames begins.
Drawing plate - 30 days from order until it arrived in the mail, twice as expensive due to customs and fees. is not available for sale in norway.

I know that old boat builders used tar between all parts when they mounted frames, I want to try with black glue.
And it's just trying.
Hi Knut! It may be a photo distortion, but the mast diameter looks to be too large. Did you use 1” as per the plans? Here is a part of a discussion I had with Mike about the mast diameter. 9/16” is correct, not 1”.
Hey Mike!
I didn't want to clutter up the general thread with this question, but there appears to be a discrepancy in the drawings for the mast diameter in 1:32 scale. In the detail drawing of the mast (on the mast and main deck beams sheet) the mast itself has a diameter of 1". There is some narrowing below the main deck, but that portion on the mast visible above the main deck is 1" in diameter. In scale that would be 2ft. 8 in. in diameter. The longitudinal drawings of hull, as well as the plan views of the deck framing (where the holes are for the mast to pass through the decks) make the mast 9/16" in diameter , or 1'-6" in real life. That is pretty close to the 1' 8-1/2" diameter listed in the AOTS book on Blandford. It appears that the 9/16" diameter is correct. The mast would be way too thick at 1". Also, is it necessary to bring the diameter of the mast down below the main deck? The most simple approach would be to take a 9/16" dowel, form a 3/8" tenon on the end for the mast step, drill a 3/8 " hole (mortise) in the step for the tenon and call it done! Am I wrong?
In your 1/1/18 revision of the 1:48 scale plans, the mast diameter is 3/8", which would be 9/16" at 1/32 scale.
