Do you add something for fasteners, resin, varnish etc. or is it included in the 15% margin?

For fastening I made a total estimation and put the weight to the allready found main center of gravity.
For the paint I use the total square area to know the gallons needed, then put this weight in the same manner as the feastening.
I use paint which dry by oxydation, so the weight remain the same when dry (-5%)
The 15% soaking weight is put at the center of gravity of the planking and keel.
In case I use several gallons of coal tar under the waterline, I made a separate weight for that and put it on the center of gravity of the lower planking.
