Working my way slowly through the Metcalf Moonbeam kit. I stained and sanding sealed the plywood decking, but it still looked like stained plywood! Not very happy with it, the plywood had small voids on the finished surface and a rather wild grain pattern.
I obtained 1mm x 5mm white wood, armed myself with lots of strong but thin (0.15mm) double sided tape and a 0.5 mm spacer, and planked on top of the supplied plywood. I intend to finish the deck in clear lacquer, no stain, so it should turn out slightly yellow. But I am stuck on the caulking colour. Black seems a bit to utilitarian and work-boatish. If I use wood filler/glue it will really hold everything together, but the wood filler I can find is a very very light pink. I tried it on a small sample and lacquered it. It only looks so-so to my eyes.
What colour should I be aiming for? I can attach a photo, but my batting average is not good with photos.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
