How I dyed my last deck planking.  Items used brush no 6 size flat water colour brush Permanent marker pen chisel ended 1.5mm Colron wood dye Georgian medium oak. Top of shaving foam lid to pour dye into. Draw lines down on side of plank using permanent marker pen. I also added a black mark on the side of the plank so you can identify the caulked side easily.  To make a dark colour plank ( top plank in picture) Dip brush in dye. load brush with a lot of dye. Brush down plank applying even pressure on brush all way down plank. To make light colour plank (plank 2 in picture) Dip brush in dye remove excess dye from brush so just bristles are wet run brush down plank with very little pressure on brush. Dark plank lighter end.(plank 3 in picture) Dip brush in dye apply pressure to brush at start of plank ease of pressure as you get to end of plank. Plank with varied tones ( plank 4 in picture) Dip brush in dye vary pressure on brush as you go down plank. Picture of dyed planks  Picture of planks together  Hope this answers your question Alan Ian. Current builds.Hachettes build the bismark,HMS Victory, HMS Hood.

Hi Ian, thanks for pics, very much appreciated... That is what I used but yours in the photo looks a different colour so can only put it down to the kind of planking you used to start with...  Thanks again... Regards Alan

Hi all. A quick update on my build. I have fitted the gratings to the deck. And lined the bullwarks.    The cannon balls round the grattings have not been put into the channels as per instructions I have glued the cannon balls onto the 2mm strip as I thought this was more realistic. Thanks for looking Ian. Current builds.Hachettes build the bismark,HMS Victory, HMS Hood.
