OK, as promised some shiny mahogany...
This is the Proxxon WP/E polisher with a 25mm medium sponge applying Farecla G3 Regular Grade cutting compound, so the first stage of polishing after the flattening with discs. Its a bit hard to see but that's a paste and its further wetted to keep the head cool.   And wiping it off with a damp cloth   This one shows the flattened and cut back deck, also the hull side too showing brush marks, that's next to be flattened.  And finally the stern showing a better reflection now..!  Pleased and a bit relieved to see the gloss coming back after the flattening process. David. |

David,
I have been using double sided tape to attach wood strips and other pieces of trim to my Silver Mist. It is a lot easier than glueing. I also used this method to attach the gunwhale strips to my Greek fishing boat. The tape is advertised as being permanent but where possible I have subsequently run some Deluxe Materials Superphatic glude along the underside/inside of the joint which wicks in and gives extra adhesion. The exterior is then sealed with varnish or lacquer. Adhesion to the tape is improved if the surfaces are smooth so I seal the strip before attaching it. The tape comes in widths of 1mm, 2mm,3mm etc. I bought mine on eBay but you can see some of the options here, the red ones: https://www.replacebase.co.uk/tools-equipment/adhesives/adhesive-tape It is not actually double sided tape but adhesive on a thin film which is peeled away so there is no thickness added to the joint. You do need to be careful in positioning the trim as the adhesive is pretty much instant grab and while the piece may feel slightly flexible immediately after applying it will spring back to its original position when you let go.
