Hi wallace! Cool

I used Evo-stick Timebond adjustable contact adhesive in the tube not a tin, as you can apply direct on the hull and planks by just rubbing the end of the tube over the wood. No need to use a brush or scraper the glue dries in 5 to 10 minutes then line up the plank on the hull it can be moved until you press it down.

When I line up the plank I bend the plank over my finger and up to the plank already glue, then run the plank along the hull so there is no gap between the planks. Next I roll the plank down with a wooden roller, any extra glue on the top of the plank can be rubbed off.

As Tomick said "available from B&Q or most DIY outlets"
