Hey Tom- How are you guys doing? Is that place covered up with snow yet? We've had great weather, but our one month of winter is inevitable and should be here by Christmas! Why don't you be like a showbird and come out here for the Havasu affair in Feb? A great place in Feb, and the people aren't bad either. Bring the 17, and I'll kick your butt with my Sage! Be great to see you, also. jerry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Smith" <openboatt@gmail.com> To: "For and about Montgomery Sailboats" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, October 17, 2011 10:59 AM Subject: Re: M_Boats: Refurbish the wood Having refinished what's felt like several miles of M-boat toe rails and other assorted wood pieces, I recommend the use of a precision scraper for removing the old finish. I've used a bahco triangle scraper (http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=3494&fam...) with very good results. t On Sun, Oct 16, 2011 at 4:44 PM, Ted Weidenbach <weid0069@umn.edu> wrote:
Hi everyone,
It is October and sailing season has pretty much come to an end in Minnesota. I am looking to refurbish the wood on the 1981 monty 15 that I bought last winter. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on what worked well for them at any point in the process. From taking off the wood (which I am doing now) to sanding to making it look good, any help would be appreciated.
Also the toe rail is wood and I want to take that off but I still need to transfer it to storage. Does the toe rail keep the top of the boat and the bottom of the boat attached? It looks like that is what is keeping it together and if I took it off I wouldn't want to be driving down the highway with it. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Ted _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
