The ammonia in windex helps the wood be more flexible

Ammonia helps to bend wood in modelling Mr K. I suspect Windex contains some ammonia. Care needed , as Ammonia can stain the wood .No big deal when painting a hull I guess. 5 - 20% Ammonia to water ratio.

Currently building my own Wild Duck and must say this tutorial video was great to be able to reference the build as it progressed. I did use tracing paper before on another boat build as that to didn't have any hull templates. I did have some issue with the stringers lining up even though I cut out the frame very carefully they did seem to want to form a nice curve . I'm at the point now of cutting it from the build board and then tackling the upper deck stuff and cabin and looking to do similar with the cabin top lifting off in one piece. thanks again for sharing you video.

I have been in full size boats that were not half as sturdy as this model.

@CharlesFlahertyB 9 ай бұрын

fantastic project. I assume you shaped the keel weight/bulb with files, sandpaper etc. How did you safely control/collect the lead dust and filings?

I just filed over a garbage can. Nothing fancy and probably not as safe as the EPA would want. When I was a kid my dad would fix our steel plumbing with lead. He showed me how you could float rocks on the molten let. In high school science class we all got to play with mercury and see how it would make a dime shine.
