Had a friend that was married to a Japanese woman. He was waiting for a heart transplant and using modern drugs, couldn't get his cholesterol down enough for the operation. He then went to his wife's Dr. who put him on a regiment of one tablespoon of vinegar in a glass of water twice a day and his cholesterol was down enough in a month to have his operation.

Never heard of using vinegar for this kind of work. Just another great thing to add to the list of all the unique and wonderful things that you can do with vinegar. Thanks everyone for all the great advice on the Wood Glue.

It is a very effective, non-flamable solvent for epoxy clean-up. I even use it to make disposable brushes re-usable. Try it! You'll like it.

If you do a clean job there won't be any ess to clean up, but if you can't help being a clumsy fool, the mess can be leaned up with lacquer thinner. Acetone will clean up the mess but it'll reat another by attacking the gelcoat that the inside of the bulkhead is ainted with. jerry ---- Original Message ----- rom: "W David Scobie" <wdscobie@yahoo.com> o: "For and about Montgomery Sailboats" montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> ent: Wednesday, November 16, 2011 10:43 AM ubject: Re: M_Boats: Wood Glue oe: if i understand your reference to 'JB weld' correctly you are just going to lue a piece of wood to the bulkhead (ie, a butt joint). my concern is that this joint will come apart ... mostly from the abuse our oats experience bouncing on their trailers along the roads and highways. i've thought of installing shelves as you describe to my M17. over and over 've come the following opinion - better - tab your attachment points to the bulkhead using epoxy and iberglass mat & cloth. best - screw or bolt thru the bulkhead along with tabbing as noted above in better'. use oval head fasteners and finishing washers. : Dave Scobie : Sage Marine --- On Wed, 11/16/11, Joe Murphy <seagray@embarqmail.com> wrote: The top of the shelves will have a box to cover the backside of the compass on the port side and the depth gauge on the starboard side. Inside the box I'll use a block attached with JB weld and at the bottom I'll use a french hasp. I'll post pictures when it's all done.

I'm making mahogany bulkhead shelves to put on the inside cabin bulkhead. I'm looking for advice on what would be the best glue to use for mahogany. I'll use typical morticed joints and babbet corners and prefer not to use any screws, etc. Thanks much Joe SeaFrog M17
