Thanks for sharing brp! You would not believe how much time we wasted on our Dawncraft cabin cruiser stripping out the old paint layers. what makes things even worse the hubby found the leftover tin of paint onboard in a locker. it can only be a few years old!!

I guess we can call it a diary.To begin with, this is Morwenna, she is a 36ft Atlantic…[Read more]

Hey Paul,
My first thought , what’s caused the corrosion in the first place, do the anodes need replacing and are there earthing issues with the leg.
I’m trying to visualise the issue, the swaging makes it a little more difficult. I’m not entirely, sure how any tube simply put through and hole will have a good seal. For a gasket to work…[Read more]

Hi there
I am looking to purchase a 77″ tug boat which needs full restoration (no engine) into a ‘houseboat’. The boat is moored in Kent so I believe too far from yourselves and services but I was hoping to have a chat to get some more understanding on the renovation required and how much it is likely to cost.
Thanks in advance!

I would actually say the Simploo can be quite problematic when it comes to the urine separation. Especially when guests use the toilet, the wee tends to go into the solids container then this taints the solids. It’s fine once you know how to use the toilet and are well practised. For this reason, I would say your wife is correct.

That’s a good question If you’ve still not found your sealant. I could run some tests on your behalf, how long have you got until you need to complete the work? The datasheets should list all suitable materials but granted in most cases, it’s going to just state “metal”.
If you’ve not found a solution, I’ll have a play, I have some 316 In my…[Read more] - Load More
Hey Lewis thanks for the information. We currently have a dutch barge out of water with a lot of rust preparation work ahead of us. Fertan sounds like a great product so thankyou again!
This is a great dive into the complexities of rust converters and epoxy coatings.
So many articles just scratch the surface and shy away from the difficult bits.
Good job!
