Re: I\'ve been looking at both my bottoms and... Glad to know this, and thanks. So it seems the hard stuff is best, and there I was wondering if the spoonful of chilli powder added to the soft eroding had contributed to the queue of protoplasm trying to taste.

I\'ve been looking at both my bottoms and... anti-fouling on Pandora, applied in May is now festooned in marine growth. Small ply tender treated at same time is totally clear. Both on swinging mooring, but tender has hard type a-f meant for high speed craft, which it sure aint. Is there a...

Yeah! That sounds good, and ref kids and boats, got this report from a friend who was taking his family sailing, including two year-old child. "All went well, and young Davie was as well behaved as usual except when I dropped him and he was nearly drowned. What a cry-baby! Apart from that he was...

Re: Is this \"Practical Boat\" enough... Don't forget the unicorns this time !!

Thanks for info so far. The stuff I have is Epiglass ht 9000. I was reading a brief article on making ply tender with stitch and tape system and epoxy filler at joints. By this latter I took it to mean a somewhat thicker gunge than simple epoxy and hardener. You're rightr, I should go to West's...

I hope this doesn't involve a cordless drill and egg-whisk.

Wow! That seems like a good bunch of advice, thanks and thanks too for the warnings. I did wonder about the epoxy answer as another requirement is that of firmly fixing fittings such as latches, and maybe the foam wouldn't do that. Perhaps the small amount of epoxy at a time is good. The Pandora...

Pandora forehatch cover is cracked and mended( sort of, many times I should think) As it is double skinned, can I make an opening and pour something in which would strengthen it? The shape is too convoluted to insert a solid reinforcement. Suggestions would be very welcome.

I think I might be one. that stuff is so ott it's alto stratus. I blame the aperitive, the wine during and cognac after. Sorry, wont do it again in a hurry.

Disenchantment with noisy outboards began after being given one on completion of Hartley Scamp,- 14ft of pure plywood, and rowed until the beast arrived. Twin cylinder John. 20 horse and weighed about the same ( Shires ie.) Trouble was, in the shed the plug leads produced sparks you could weld...
