Thanks Speak, its coming along, slowly but surely

I took Friday off so I'll have Friday, Saturday and Sunday to finish all the tabbing (would be nice to have all the tabbing done Friday) . Hopefully by Sunday I will be installing the cleats. I'm waiting for Wood's "Old Timers Secret Stringer Sauce"

I'll look for your bayliner restoration thread

Wow! I didn't realize I was holdin up the show!!! Sorry bout dat!!! Here it is but... It does take a couple of days!!!! This stuff really works well. and will seal the wood especially Douglass Fir. It soaks deep into the wood and the solids in the BLO expands when it dries and then the Marine Varnish seals over the top. Very effective. However I recommend two days dry time after the last coat. If you seal the Cleats and the top of the stringers with this formula I really don't see the need for CSM or any other Capping material but If you want to you could scuff the top and lay a layer of resin and CSM on top of the Cleats and stringers to finish em off. Totally up to you.. The products displayed are totally for illustration purposes, any brands will work the same.

You werent holding up the show i have plenty to do Im currently tabbing

I can get boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits from home depot, but i can find marine yacht varnish, is there something at wet marine or home depot thats interchangeable with the marine yacht varnish?

Did you notice my questions about reinforcing the area around the ski locker cut out? and should there be a bulkhead type piece on the bow side of the ski locker? currently its just open.

When the tabbing is done how many layers of CSM go in the ski locker and gas tank area?

Thank you

Also, dispose properly or fire?? what exactly do you mean? for me, disposing of something is throwing it in the garbage can the rags cant touch? the rags should be sealed? should be separated from other trash?

 

[Woodonglass]

If the Rags are still wet and piled in a pile in a hot closed in place, Yup they can spontaneously combust (Catch Fire!!!) I'd reccomend putting letting them dry as best as possible and then putting them in a plastic bag and then adding some cold soapy water and tieing, sealing the bag

Yup bulkhead across the front of the ski locker and I'd put cleats around the ski locker too and make it so that fancy Teak cover would fit nice and flush. 2 layers of CSM should so the trick..

Kinda like this...

Yo wood i might be in trouble :facepalm: this is a photo of my ski locker, only difference is it currently has two tabs of 1708 and one layer of 1.5 CSM, are you saying i should a add a bulkhead towards the bow? (where the stringers get short and pointy). If so, would that bulkhead sit on the edge of the drainage cover piece?

 

[Goldie627]

Im not sure i understand your instructions about reinforcing the ski locker, i was already planing to put cleats outside the stringers to have something to screw the floor to. Are you saying to add cleats to the inside of the ski locker as well?

 

[Woodonglass]

Nope, Just Like the drawing shows...Outside only.
