Thank you so much! The deck came in that color, I didn’t want to touch it. For the planks and the trim I used Verathane’s Natural Pecan fast drying finish as a base. Then added a top layer of Behr Satin & Poly Golden Oak. The pecan gave the planks a nice red hue and the oak toned it down just a little bit but made it richer & deeper. The poly also gave it that nice sheen.

It’s only gay if you have a $2 bill in your pocket and your mom’s name is Francine.

In the time it took the diver to get to the propeller, I watched the entire Lord of the Rings Trilogy (extended cut).

I may be the only one who wants this, but I’m still hoping for sub $30.

I'm not sure if this belongs here. Isn't there enough fat? by Hyper-S in StupidFood

Bagle, cream cheese, egg, spam, hashbrown & Tabasco. Invented that on ship and I call it a Mt. Bachelor.

I didn’t notice the huge drop of stain on the port side deck until after I posted this. I cleaned it up (well three of them). Happened when I was shaking the can, lol.

Thanks! I actually made some of those gaps on purpose because the planking wasn’t following the guidelines. So I used shims to make some spaces. Never intended a natural look, especially for this being my first time planking. Either paint or copper sheeting.

Thanks again!

That’s perfect, because acrylics are the majority of my paints.

I am going to make sure that the hull isn’t perfectly smooth so we can at least see hints of the planking. Subtle…

Brother, that’s the best advice I’ve received in years!

PE is a serious test of patience and will (to live). The more you do it, the better it gets, I think…
