Hi Karl, I will put photos of the one I use, its also weather resistant, I have never found it water soluble when fully hardened.

when you have just applied it, you can wipe it off with a damp cloth,but after about 24 hours when its cured, I have never been able to free it with water or steam.BigGrin

ISSUE 16 DECKING BEAMS

I then sanded the frames very well, as per the instructions, but I also sanded the deck beams flush with rib tops which they are attached too.

I spent alot of time on this area in order to fit the Deck flush, and the frames to come in and out freely.

I feel this is one of the most important parts to get right, so please do not rush this stageBigGrin

ISSUE 16 FORE DECK

I then dry fitted the piece of deck, I need to spend alittle more time on some of the rib tops particularly 3a and 2a before I will add adhesive.

The deck fits flush, and I have placed part 58 in position where it will be attached to this section of Deck.

This is how she is now, more tomorrow comments welcomeBigGrin :-
