ZHL Misticque

G'day John, that is a nice looking kit, the name of the stuff Geoff is talking about is Isotropyl, you should be able to buy it from the chemist's or a hardware shop, apparently you put it on the joint and it dissolves the PVA glue allowing you to take the joint apart, hope this helps,

Best regards John.
 
Hi Donnie

No photo yet, I am going to try something first.
If it has not worked by tomorrow I will have to take it apart.

Contrary to some responces, I have used nail polish remover with 100% acotone on various glues from CA to PVA it hs worked fro me i use a cotton swab to apply the acotone sometimes it need a few alications then with an exact pry bthe pieces apart usin more acotone if neede, have had no breakage and cn reglue the parts after =the acatone dries it works for me try it on some sample pieces. HOPE THIS HELPS Don

Hi John,
I sent you a photo of the side profile of the oars from my Xebec, so I hope you can replicate them for your model.

cheers Brian.

Hi John

Your Misticque is coming along quite nicely.

Keep those photos coming

Cheers

Hi Geoff and Donnie

Thank you for your comments.

I did not take the keel apart, I put a block of wood half way down and put a clamp on it then went to the bow end and clamped that, this bent the bow part about 25mm and left it for about 4 days.
I think it worked as it is only about less than half a millimetre out, I am hoping that when the lower deck goes on it will pull this into line.

John,
that should work fine. I have had to do things like this before. I thought I would never get my San Felipe Keel straight. Even using the admirals iron !!

Hi Donnie

I think it was my fault I just glued it and left it on the table, should have put something on top.

Next it is sanding some frames but the admiral has to go out first ha ha.


John.
 
Hi John

It sounds like you need to give the Admiral a good excuse to go out, I am sure you will think of something.

Cheers
Geoff
 
John
it will be a beautiful model!
A bit too late but I used isopropyl alcohol to un-glue parts (previously glued with Triton glue) and I am happy with the result. It is available at Bunnings.

Hi all

I know I am going a bit ahead of myself but I find it hard to find wood for the base.

I emailed a timber yard and said I was looking for a slab of Cherry for a baseboard.
They had the size I wanted 800mm x 200mm x 25mm but it is rough sawn, so as I have a thickness sander I will sand it down with that.

Ordered it Thursday arrived yesterday (Monday).
It cost $46 + P and P $40.

John.
 
Hi John

It is not to early to think about the base board as you will need a way of screwing you Mystique to the base board.

My thicknesser will only handle 80mm wide which in most cases will be wide enough.

Cheers
Geoff
 
hi John,
I ordered a beautiful solid cherry baseboard with routed edges of the same dimensions as you specified from Max at ZHL models and it was cheaper than what you paid.

cheers Brian.
