Many thanks for your kind comments, it has been a pleasure to build this kit, it has challenged me and thanks to this website and Geoff I am pleased with the result and looking forward to painting her and finally sail her soon.

That's a great piece of work after 52 years, however there are skills you never forget. I look forward to the next build

Many thanks for your advice, I would have gone straight to undercoat. Thank you for taking the time. Best wishes Treve

I agree with Ron π
At least seal and strengthen the wood with a couple of coats of EzeKote water based resin. First coat diluted with ca 15% water to soak in. Then two coats neat. You'll then have a strong water tight hull and a good base for painting π "Don't spoil the ship for a ha'p'orth of resin!"

Hang on before painting. Will you be applying a fiberglass layer ? that should be done before painting.

I have used very small magnets or velcro to hold hatch lockers in place on my RAF fire tender.

Treve, I think you will probably find that the hatch will sir comfortably in place during sailing, unless you reach considerable speed!
Keep up the good work. Geoff π Like
