    It's great, there's not a sailor in the world that doesn't know this scenario.

    Very well done so far razor and the base/deck looks very convincing.

    As an acrylic dauber, I hate to say this, try white oils.
    That way you can correct the line with a brush dipped in turps, it'll take a while though.

    Me and stripes don't get on either. As housecarl says use oil. Nice job so far.
