Not that it has anything to do with boats, but white vinegar dissolves hard water deposits in sinks and drains like nothing else. You have to let it soak for a couple of hours, but it takes off anything. I was amazed when I first tried it. No damage and no corrosive chemicals. For places that you can't just fill up, soak a paper towel in vinegar and let it stand where you want to clean.

White vinegar has worked fine for me in the past for clean up. I was amazed when it was suggested to me. Nothing like rubbing acetone on your hands and into your bloodstream.

Does it have to be brown cider vinegar? Is clear OK. 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.

When working with epoxy, I keep a bottle of brown cider vinegar handy. 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.

I think Dave is essentially correct, except that if you use oval heads (I on't think you need washers) just bed the shelves in epoxy putty, and the est procedure would be to drill and install the shelves dry and run masking ape around the shelves (on the inside of the bulkhead), then remove the helves, cleanly spread the epoxy putty using a slight excess, screw the helves in place, then using a sharp putty knife clean up the excess that's queezed out, then pull the tape. 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.

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.

joe:
matt, sage marine's woodworking guy, recommends (in order listed) -
* west system epoxy
or
* titebond 3 (used for exterior applications)
are you going to bolt/screw through the cabin bulkhead to hand the shelves?

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
