Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication
Ok enough of that...lol
Time to address the leaking mast step.
First I found some specialize mast step cleaning tools. They were hard to find as Home Depot mistakenly had stocked them in the paint department.
Quick wipe with glass cleaner and then acetone.
Measured and cut some fiberglass tape to the length of the step from the inside lip to just above the base. This tape is designed for use in drywall finishing, I choose to use it as to avoid building up the interior of the step too much. Notice the tape has a built in crease to fold for corners,it is slightly thinner in the center, this will be more obvious when wetted.
Ok the rest was wetting out the glass and placing strips in the step, and using a brush and the tube of caulking err mast step tool to squeeze out the excess resin.
