Hello Nigel, I am sorry I ask you in Daniel's thread, but we could open our own for this subject if necessary.

I am building a steam pinasse too and want to get a beautiful glossy deck for her. Deck is planked with mahagony strips and I thought to apply several coats of glossy boat varnish on it, but your method of using epoxy is interesting. I thought to use laminating epoxy for this. To get it thinner I thought to use methyl alcohol which makes epoxy like water. But how many layers of epoxy are you using? Do you sand them after curing before applying new layer? And what type of varnish are you using as the last layer?

Hello Moxis
I find on internet some info for guitar making -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2o4YN8wtCfE
They explained very well about pore filling with epoxy
I think you will be interested

Morning All,
I asked a friend who works in a 3d program to verify my design.
There are small diferences resolved with sanding but the results are near similar
The stern was as in original in heart shape
Kind regards,Danielmusashi lateral.jpg

Thank you Daniel very interesting, however I could't open the link. Could you send it once more please.
 
Hello Moxis ,
I usually copy the link and paste in the google serching bar.
That way is working every time.
I dont know why is not working after pasting here in message.
Sincerely yours ,Daniel
 
I tried to copy the link but it was not possible. When trying to sweep it with finger in the normal manner, it does not "paint", actually nothing happens if I tap or sweep the link.
 
Sorry moxis I thought you are on a computer.
Try to search on youtube this :

Thanks Daniel, I was looking the tutorial which was very good. But how this guy is making the last glossy layer? With Zpoxy or some sort of varnish?
 
Barnes and Noble are very devious
I wanted to pay for the electronic book and cannot because Romania is not on the list of eligible country ( ukraine and Russia is :mad:)
So I have no luck.
I cannot buy the hardcover because the same thing.
If anyone have this book can you scan the chapter of the finishing the model ?
Daniel
 
I was also trying to purchase this book in electronic format, but the vendor said that overseas orders in digital form are not allowed. So the only way is to buy the book in paperback format, but price is higher and shipment takes awfully long time these days, so I skip this.
 
Hello Moxis,
