Might work. Are you still snowed in?

The rail was varnished in haste by a former owner (not Bill), and there's a fillet of varnish along both the inside and outside of the rail where it joins the deck. It's been on there a while, so a sharp blade won't do the job. All the chemical strippers I'm familiar with are harmful to glass, so unless someone has a non-volatile suggestion, that's out. My best alternative thinking on my own is a sharp edged sanding block. Any other suggestions? t Tom Smith & Jane Van Winkle M17 #496 _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
