A place for everything else
The deck has been stained. In spite of lots of sanding, there was still enough glue to make the stain cover inconsistently. However, if you look at pictures I’ve posted of the deck earlier, there is some inconsistency due to weathering, so I’m not too upset.
Trenails are done. Next step is to apply stain.
Trenails are added using toothpicks. I used tape to define the location for the trenails. Holes were drilled along the line.
Here are some shots of the planking / caulking procedure. I first cut a length of strip to just larger than the required size, then slowly sand one end a little at a time until it fits perfectly. Then I cut a matching length of the plastic. Glue is applied and the strip is added as shown below, with a tiny space between the old and new strips.
Deck planking continues. I did a test fit to make sure my mast and bowsprit holes were still accessible.
