planking putty?

[Dave Osborn]

I once restored a Carleton with planking gaps bigger than I liked. The gaps were up to 1/4” wide, 2-3 planks either side of the keel line. The my solution was to remove and reinstall the planks tight like they should be. I ended with a space right down the keel line that I filled in with a 1” strip of plank from a “donor” hull.
