Hi Guys
I have now tested 6 types of caulking paste and finally went for the ordinary silicon based stuff I use for wooden boats. That should not surprise since wood and paper are closely related. After caulking the prototype I can only say - I am still not satisfied with the result. Technically speaking - yes - I have reached the technical targets I set. But the results are not at all pretty as you can see from the photos in the previous posting. So now I go back to the drawing board once again and try to see this aspect while maintaining the technical and assembly improvements. This means that the intention of splitting the templates up into A4 or A5 sizes will have to wait this time around. The sheets of card I use are 1000 x 700 mm so For this next construction I am going to use a whole sheet without cutting it up first. I should get the whole boat out of one sheet with hopefully at least a 9.5 for artistic impression.
