I build guitars and it is hard to clamp something in the middle of a guitar top or back. The solution is something they call a go bar deck. Were you use fiber glass rods wedged to apply pressure. If you have ever put sheetrock on a ceiling and used a 2x4 wedged against the floor to hold it up

I think the iron method may work. The heat will soften the glue and the iron would press it down. There is no way to clamp it flat on the wall. Good luck-Bill Sterling In a message dated 11/6/2012 3:54:23 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, rothassocia...@verizon.net writes: I hope someone on

Talked to a guy at the boat yard today and he had nothing good to say about the Vire 7 engine. Is it worth looking for one? Seems equally hard to find a Yanmar 1GM. Any ideas thanks. Bill Sterling-Kingston N.Y.___ This List is provided by the C&C Pho

Thanks Sam I will have to take a look. One other question seeing you have the same boat does your boat have a very long tiller handle? My wife says there is no room for crew because it is so long. I told her I think it is for single handed sailing as it put you close to the winches and travel
