... I'm laughing to myself because the boat next to mine in the boat barn is a really pretty 42 foot Sabre from 1989. The owner bought her from the original...
... John: I'm not sure what surface prep you'll need just for basic fairness, but for paint, I've been pleased with Pettit's special boat interior paint, ...
John, You may know this, or someone may have told you already, but before painting you'll need to remove ALL of the old adhesive used to attach the crappy ...
... I'm one of the RotoZip lovers, and I used the 60-grit (?) red wheel to remove the gel coat inside our Cal 29 that was coming off in tortilla-chip pieces....
We're going through similar with our 2-29. The old adhesive comes pretty clean with a good metal-blade scraper. What's left comes off with a little M.E.K. and...
Hi I did my Cal 29 interior totally over. Here is the link to see the before after. The liner product i used was from West and it still looks good today. ...
... If this is the same unpleasant stuff that coated the interior of my Cal 20 from 1967, then it's not really gelcoat. It's a paint that does dissolve with...
Hi, All. I started off in palm sanders, went to a Porter Cable dual action 6 inch, and ended up with a converted 4.5" grinder (turn it into a sander). Use...
Mommy here boys, and I came to NAG! Wear a 3m full-on organic respirator when you do this work. Keep the glass particles out of your lungs. Keep the MEK,...
Forgot to mention..... If a stripper takes this nasty paint and adhesive off, it will also soften the polyester fiberglass matrix as well, so think twice about...
Skipper that is wise advice to protect oneself especially from the fumes and dust. There is a link between Benzene and others Chemicals to leukemia and other...
It's time for my annual rant about West Marine and their corporate model. First, let me say that in the two stores nearest my boats, West's sales clerks and...
I tried the removal goo for a little but, but found the residue and the mess too hard to clean up. I have about a gallon of it available. Cheers Charlie ... ...
Ahoy Sailors, Last year I purchased a SS (22 lb.) knockoff of the Delta Fast-Set plow. I plan to relocate the bow running lights from the foredeck to the...
I already removed the decrepit burlap from the inside of my 74 c25 and was wondering what people had replaced it with and used to attach the new covering. i...
you can ask your wm to "manager buy" certain items that are not in the catalogue such as bristol finish which my store now carries because it is in production...
I know many of you are used to big current, but in the Chesapeake Bay, currents above 1.5 knots (maybe 2) are very rare. Here is a shot of a mark in the NOOD...
... You do think about these things when the urologist uses the C-word and prescribes a prostate biopsy to see what's in there. Let's see...methyl chloride...
... The stuff I used did not affect the resin--it was still shiny and hard. The only areas affected were resin-starved areas where they had used some cloth,...
What you talkin' 'bout, you mid-Bay boy, you? Not used to 1.5 knots? Hey, take a look at the charts for our end of the Bay! South of the Sassafrass, I think we...
... If you get the full kit (in the handsome gray plastic carrying case) you get a right-angle attachment that takes coarse grit grinding "pads" that are ...
... Jamestown distributers has all this stuff. I know it takes time and there is shipping cost but when you add it up, it is worth it. West Marine is handy for...
... I did this with the Groco TM-10 tank monitor for the holding tank. I had the tank built to Fin's specification and added a 1 1/2 inch fitting in the top...
... I was racing my Peterson 35 about 25 years ago and we had an encounter with a mark and strong current. People don't think of current as a factor in...
OK, try sailing the Niagara River 4 miles above the falls with trees on both sides of the river. 1.7kts with little or no wind, this is no place for wimps! ...
I want the cheap burlap gone but my hearing or body parts to be alive.I will try everything or has that been done. ? I just went thru fuel tank and engine...
A quick note. The Vivid paints are history at our store for lack of interest. I admit I have never heard of the Petitt paint Chris wants; that also means no...
I think this is fair. I have Vivid white on my bottom as it is the only white bottom paint that does not yellow, according to Practical Sailor which...
... The West clerk who was trying to sell me the Vivid told me that it's being used by racers who find it's an attractive alternative to the local favorite,...
John, what happens if your engine fails? Oooohhhh Noooo, Mr. Bill. Cheers Charlie ... From: Cal_Boats@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Cal_Boats@yahoogroups.com] On ...
