Craig, I know that formula well!That's how I kept the cockpit and the covering boards on the Jenna Mae,it gives it that nice "blond" look.My broker had me oil it to show,which darkened it up,and looked Ok,but I really like the blond color.I use to buy Sudsy Ammonia at Publix and cut it in half with water and fire it on there every other trip or so when we were cleaning the cockpit.

Tired and happy,

Only 1 real DOHH. Got sleepy late in the day and made a whoop dee do on the back of the splashwell w/ the belt sander. Otherwise got all the heat, scrape , rough sand, and straightening done. At 100 now. Thx for the Elmers tip Joey. Powder and Elmers feels really funny on the fingers! I made it thick. So far I`ve been goin low n slow. Got the 105/207. Got the Epifanes. Lots of hand sanding. I don`t have a triangle scraper and was wondering if you know a way to get the very bottom of a 90? Folded paper is close... From my little humble perch, I seem to see many failures come from unsealed edges, screw holes etc.
1. On flush mounted pieces do you coat all 4 sides with care B 4 mounting?

2. Best way to seal screw holes? epoxy ok?

3. Took the plexi frame apart for a new glue n screw after prep. Awaiting instructions for mitered end grain please!
Dirty old seep now. Sand ,glue n screw w/ Titebond or is there a better way?

I`m really happy with my progress so far.
Thx All,
GFS
