Re: How to reseal hull to deck joint of my 1968 original Cal Cruisin

Don't forget the soapy water method to find leaks. Close the portholes and seal the hatches (and any other known openings), then put a house can in the companionway, and use plastic sheeting to seal it to the opening. Then turn it on full blast to pressurize the cabin. Now apply soapy water to stanchion bases, deck hardware, hull/deck joint, and any other areas of interest. You should be rewarded with tiny bubbles wherever there are leaks that would let water in. I haven't done this on Jambalaya yet, because it falls into the category of "don't ask the question if you don't want the answer." <g> Our project list is long enough as it is.
