Glued carvel hull, anyone done this ?
http://www.azom.com/details.asp?ArticleID=1116 Glued Carvel Plank edges may be shaped and glued with a thickened epoxy mix or alternatively the seams of dry fitted planks may be routed later to a constant width and fitted with wooden splines which are glued into place. This latter method is the usual treatment when a traditionally built carvel craft is reconstructed using epoxy adhesives as part of a full restoration program. Sometimes a thickened epoxy mix is introduced into the seams as an alternative to wooden splines and this seems to be just as effective in fastening the plank edges together. The planking is also glued to the spine and framework, which on new boats is built of laminated hardwood, glued and coated with epoxy. |
