Re: [Cal_Boats] Handrails (Paul)

Yeah Charlie we had a good frost this morning too. I'll definitely have to start early in the morning and run a heater all day to help with the set up. I'm using the fast hardener which helps too. I need to re-visit the directions on the lowest temp it can be used in too. Are you Frostbiting this season? Paul In a message dated 11/29/2010 11:50:21 A.M.

A "production" boat is not necessarily a "precision" boat That's for sure. Hell, I've only seen a few Cal 39's with my same floor plan! BTW removed all my exterior handrails last week on those 65 deg days we had and will need to replace a couple of them as I had to cut one off of the last bolt as the head broke off and there was not enough below to grab onto with anything. If I remember correctly I think I had 5 or 6 heads break off. Good news is that there didn't appear to be any major leaks into the deck. I reamed out all the wood that I could with a dremel tool and filled all holes with epoxy. Am attempting to do this with all holes in the deck before Christmas. Still have to do the dorades, the companionway cover and 4 mast base blocks. Hoping for good weather till Christmas!! Paul West Adventure Kwest '80 Cal 39
