Chris ….Just a matter of how much you want the original pattern and how much time you want to spend (and or $$$)…. (and/or how crazy you are [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] )
I was able to recreate the pattern from scratch....to match the rest of the deck....Its looking for a paint job now [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Before
During
Almost finished....just needs primer and paint
The casting platform was “pinched” by a fighting chair mounting plate ….destroyed the top skin …and let water in causing the core to rot ….. ˝” masking tape (I think
Fine Line by 3M ) is the perfect size for the smooth channels between the “planks” ….Its really not that hard …..labor intensive but not rocket science Plus I was not up for grinding the WHOLE deck smooth....Fiberglass dust ...It's
not a Good Thing!!!
