I personly would think twice before painting the back of the planks with anything as they will direct on to the boiler and it will burn off and leave a mess also only put a thin coats of Finnish on the boiler and watch how much you put on , if you ever look at an older boiler you will see how it can go like toffee if its to thick wood will very lightly char on the back and will then not burn, you would not put polyurethane on a boiler as a coating, putting it on the back's of the planks is the same
thats my view anyway

Then perhaps you could suggest an alternative?

I just have don't put anything on the back and just a thin coat on the planks, does your boiler planks have the backs painted with polyurethane ???

Are you saying that polyeurethane is OK on the surface? Your message could be read as you don't use polyeurethane at all, in which case what would be the alternative?

Proteus · « **Reply #29 on:** March 18, 2009, 10:29:27 am »

Yes it is not a problem on the surface, but as I said I keep it to light coats, so as not to get it built up to thick . as I also said it is the way I do it and I tried to give the reason's why. if you look at the temperature range of polyurethane it will not take a lot of heat.

I am going to try some Danish oil on the face of the planks on the next boiler I do, as this can be re coated with a cloth and rubbed off , but as I have not tried it yet I would not recommend it, it needs to be tried over a season's running, boilers that are run in the open do not seem to suffer as much as ones that are enclosed in the likes of tugs

ilcapitano........this issue has been discussed

& resolved on Paddleducks,,,,,,,,,,with the general consensus to add a layer of refractory material under the planking

K-O-WOOL 1/16" thick sheet was an option as were various thin layers of woven glass mesh sheeting....which I have added to my boiler build .....

We also discussed various surface treatments for the planking with the conclusion that 'oils' may be the preferred option......Derek

Sounds good thanks Proteus.

Oiling the planks worked well for me. Needs to be done at least twice.

Ilcapitano · « **Reply #33 on:** March 19, 2009, 07:27:10 am »

Hi,

Many thanks! I used woven glass mesh.

Hi,

Planks oiled with water based teak oil twice.

Hull is now painted and varnished.
Paint is two component polyurethane acrylic paint. And varnish as well. Now it should last "from father to son"

Finish is propaply not as mat as I hoped, but good enough for me.

Name was also given. She is now "Anni" after my daughter.

Hi,

It takes some 15 minutes for boiler to reach 2 bars (faster of course when I pre heat the water before filling the boiler). Running time 20 minutes at least. It seems that butane runs out before water, which is great of course.
S.S. Anni was the only steam powered boat at the Model Expo. She got alot of attention.
I quickly built condesator from old glass medicin bottle and now exhaust steam outlet is from funnel. I have to built better as soon as I get some spare time.

I'll shoot some longer videos as soon as ice melts from lakes.

Is that the exhausted steam that seems to come out the side of the boat in the second video?

Ilcapitano · « **Reply #45 on:** April 12, 2009, 06:22:07 pm »

Hi,

Yes thats right, but now I have modified it so that steam is coming out of the funnel.

Nice, but there's no steam visible. Did you route the exhaust through the stack?

Ilcapitano · « **Reply #48 on:** May 06, 2009, 09:41:15 am »

Hi kno3,

Yes it is routed throuhg the stack. Wind takes it away well and it is not "steming" alot unless put full ahead.

Not seeing steam is GOOD, as it means the steam is nice and hot, superheater is working. Only in an inefficient engine / boiler do you see the exhaust steam.
