    David, that JB Weld fast setting epoxy in the picture, so it remains hardened and stable just as slow-setting "standard" epoxy?

    I am not using "5-min" epoxy for it decomposes over time and is not water-stable (UHU Schnellfest).

    Net to get that JBWeld!

    Your point is well taken. The quick-cure epoxy types have a different chemistry than the slow cure stuff. I only use the quick-cure epoxy on non-structural situations, like this decorative hemispherical anchor-light lens atop the TRENCHANT's rudder.

        Also clear sprue from plastic model kits heated on a candle flame or sanded into shape.
        Make it simple, make strong, make it work!

            Haven't been doing any model work for a couple of years now but always look to see what you have been doing. Looks great!

                Nice job, Dave, especially on the sail.
                Of the approximately 40,000 men who served on U-boats in WWII, it is estimated that around 28,000 to 30,000 lost their lives.

                    Will this be a master for a grp hull or direct use?
