Dang, all the other boat building videos show it go together perfectly or they leave the gaps. Nice job showing the massaging needed to go from flat parts to assembled compound curved assembly!
I was looking at the Makita 18V gun, but every time I have to caulk, it is just for a small amount and then I think I don' t really need the expense. On amazon now for $278. I am sure once I have one, I would wonder why I never got one earlier.
On the gun you have you can release the pressure on the piston by pressing the lever on the back of the handle to stop the dripping. Upgrading to a power caulking tool is a good investment for those of us who are getting on a bit and don't have the hand strength we used to have. Cheers Eric
Yes I can release pressure on the handle, but that does not pull back the plastic plunger which still as pressure on the caulking inside. I hear you on the hand strength, though. If I am using a pretty thick caulking and only have a small hole cut, I find myself using two hands.

Nice to see the character of the wood.
A quality dripless caulking gun is definitely a worth the expense IMHO. Great video thank you!

Nice boat
Thanks. Not my design but a pretty simple build.
