I decided I wanted to curve the planks, like the real thing, it was the first time I had done anything like this, and was a real bad job to do, but I was pretty happy when it was done. I used grey card for the caulking, then the thickness was consistant, and I could leave it proud, then rub down with the wood. I used alphitic glue for the planks, and uhu for the card. Bending was real difficlut, I took two pieces of mdf, cut one with a curve in it, attached one of these to a mdf base, soaked the plank in warm water over night, then put it in the curve,, using the other half of the cut sheet (if you know what I mean!) and gently "teased" it against the plank, which then followed the cut curve. Left to dry out, then the centre third had a reasonable curve to then apply to the deck. I used small blocks which where then nailed in place to hold the plank when it was glued. It took 3 nights to lay one piece
, before the next could be set, took 1 month just to do the planking!, but worth the effort now its done! Didnt have the expertise to attempt the joggling though. When done, it was all rubbed down using a flat edge, so the deck followed the lovely contour of the boat. I then used a wash to give it the weathered grey finish, but then the caulking was lost, so rubbed it all down again, and now just periodically oil it. Over time, it has weathered naturally and looks quite nice! hope that helps
