10. Final Touches

After all the rigging is in place, recheck every line, and

make sure all the seizings are sound. If necessary, add

another touch of super glue to seizings. Check to see if

there are any shiny places on the rig. If necessary,

touch up the standing rigging with black paint, or

black liquid shoe polish. For running rigging, use a tan

stain, or brown liquid shoe polish. Check to see if you

have fouled any of the painted wooden parts during

the rigging process and make repairs as necessary.
