Default Re: '77 Sceptre Rebuild update 4-21-10

Thats some nice looking work John! Come on down and give me some pointers!! ET23 I welcome your PM and would be more than happy to talk to you!

We got some old core removed from the cap today, and as we were looking at it we decided that the majority of the wood looked good and dry so we went down each side where the cleats, bow rail and the bow pulpit were mounted as these areas were rotten so we removed the core from around these areas. Unfortunately we punched thru in a few spots, so we sanded the areas smooth and layed up 1 layer of 1708 and then another layer of 1.5oz mat to beef it back up again. I believe that we are going to order a sheet of Coosa and recore with it. Does anyone know if they make it in 3/8" thickness?
