quick question when attaching first planks on a double planked hull, do you drill the planks to stop them from the chance of splitting or is it safe to pin and glue then remove the pins when dry
Here is the first layer of a double planked hull, with the planks pinned in place, a pair of pliers helps you push the pin through the 1/64th ply in these cases. Upper photo MTB 71, Lower White Marlin.
