Hi Nick,

Your glue will be fine, we would usually give the inside of the hull a coat or two of sealer like varnish or sanding sealer,

I use Gorilla pva white wood glue for most woodwork and 5 minute epoxy for fixing the stern tube, keep us posted with your progress 😀👍

Regards Ray

Nick. I am with Ray on the glue issue.

As you will be varnishing inside and out, the waterproofness of the glue is not critical. I use same as Ray.

Hello Nick, goodness, sorry for the tardy reply. Ray's dead right, life took a different turn for me a year or so ago and the old Sea Breeze took a back seat. Post some pics of your build here and I'll keep checking back. You may even encourage me to finish the darn thing. I have actually finished building a model boat since I started the Sea Breeze and Ray will back me up. (Back me up Ray – HELP!!). It's only little but I did actually get it finished. Anyway, Ray and Ashley's advice is, of course, right from the very top.

On the glue, I used a combination of products especially where things get tricky at the front end where the skins have to bend. Let me know if you haven't already done this and want a tip or two. I might be able to help.

Post some pics Nick and I'll keep an eye out here.

With every good wish
Graham

As promised.

Nice to see you back Graham!

And glad you haven't forgotten us.

Oh, thank you Colin, that's very kind. I could never forget you lot, I had a great time during those six or seven issues and I'll always be a model boat builder at heart, even if I am a bit slow!
