Expoxy paint is a slow drier like enamel is and take about 24 hour to hardern. The...

Interlux is hard to work with, the temp and humidity has to be just right. Take a look at Vaspar Marine paint, it is...

    hiking strap retro how to seal bolts

    Use 3M 5200, it will clean up with acetone. Plus it it will give you a better seal for a longer period of time. 5200 will take 14 days to set up before using though. Kevin

    Quick release

    To install a quick release on a gooseneck, does the screw fitting need to be drilled out for to be installed? I buy things to make sailing easier, but they come with no instructions on how to install them. Any help would be great. Anyone in North Carolina sailing yet? Thanks for the help, Kevin

    Tommy, Try EBay there are 4 in that price range. Wes Slip, NY $610.00, Sloatsburg, NY $535.00, Littleton, NC $510.00, Alma Kansas $700.00. This might work if you live near any of these places. I bought mine this way for $610.00 in Penn. and I live in Raleigh, NC. it was worth the trip. Kevin
