Re: Stus-List Backstay adjuster- is there too much of a good thing?

If the mast is on the deck it's too much.  :-) If you have block and tackle on your split backstay, I'd be surprised if 1 human could pull it beyond the limits. If you have a hydraulic backstay, there's like a pressure guage which would give you a number. Here's a link to discussion on Sailin

Thanks Jeff, I did see those videos and reviews, it’s just that I just couldn’t find anyone using a 7800 long sander on a boat bottom. Like someone else said, there is a significant difference between sanding drywall and bottom paint, and I was just curious if someone had scratched the sur

Ah, Sorry mis-understood.  Well, if I get one to finish the drywall on my cottage, I'll take it down to the boat and make you a video.   I've used drywall sanding screen on my boat bottom with a pole sander (manual) for a few years.  Found it way better than just regular sandpaper to get the bul

I need help. I spilled epoxy resin on my brand new upholstery, and it went unnoticed for several days, so it has soaked into the new foam also. The area is about 6 sq inches. My question is what do I use to remove the resin with out damaging the foam? I am not to worried about the fabric as I sewed

Douglas: I have no first hand advice but from what you have stated, epoxy dried on upholstery for several days..I think you have two options...live with it or get new foam and upholstery.   I don't know of another solution. Maybe greater minds than me can chime in. Rob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 -

Denatured alcohol will breakdown epoxy resin. But it may take a lot if soaking and blotting. Good luck. Chuck B C&C41 Tenacious Sent from my iPhone > On May 11, 2020, at 8:28 PM, Doug Mountjoy via CnC-List > wrote: > >  > Thanks Graham, > Didn't think of that. > > > > Doug Mountjoy >

Hi Doug, I routinely clean the epoxy tools with acetone. But I don't believe your foam will stand up to it, maybe a little test patch. The fabric might be okay. If the foam cushion is symmetrical then how about removing it from the fabric cover and "spilling" a bit o' hardener on the area, t

If you're talking about epoxy resin that hasn't been mixed with hardener, white vinegar works as a solvent. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR On Mon, May 11, 2020 at 6:54 PM Russ & Melody via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Hi Doug, > > I routinely clean the epox

If removal of epoxy fails, you could do what is called a dutchman in woodworking but using foam. You basically cut out the affected foam and replace it with a piece of new foam material. 3m fabric spray adhesive works really well on foam. Best of luck Envoyé de mon iPhone > Le 11 mai 2020 à 22
