I cant say with 100% certainty the entire bottom is covered with copper but yes i do believe the greater portion of the bottom is copper sheathed as we discovered when scraping back antifoul back in...

the other issue is it is also copper sheeted. I have no idea how the copper is fixed against the plank. so that would have to be removed to even get to the planks i would guess?

P.S

I have both older and more recent photos of her here http://www.aussiecommunity.com.au/boat/boat.htm

Hi Micheal I "Think" this is the only area.

When i slipped it in June as it went back in the water it was obvious thats where the water was coming in from straight away.

to the rear of that...

Thats interesting you say epoxy & carvel planks(is that what they are?) don't mix? can you elaborate more?

I know thats one of the things the surveyor suggested 2 years ago was to soda blast then...

Hi Richard, yes I am a little concerned and would like suggestions on possibly repairing it in water.

I wouldn't slip it just to do that repair so i am not over worried but just concerned in...

Ok, here is the vid YouTube- Broadcast Yourself.

Hi Kev, yep i agree.

Also i have finally taken a video of where my small leak is. just uploading it now to youtube but its going very slow at only 21% so far. so it might be another hour at this...

yep, thats what i did when i slipped it in June this year. I noted where the leaking water is coming in from.

I guess what i am saying is there is no way to tell if the problem is more extensive...

well nothing for sure 100% but based on what i know about old timber boats the planks shrink quite a but in summer the longer it is left out of water.

I know someone who put his 28' timber boat...

I took this video this morning at vic point http://www.youtube.com/AussieCommunity#p/a/u/0/U5rYnXbfpXw

Looking at the video it seems to me it has been just painted and perhaps just came from...

Thanks for pointing out the differences :)

Well overall for only $20.00 more its not a huge difference for a whole lot better i guess.

But i am guessing it wont go as far? given we know...

Kev, whats the cost of bote coat? i know everdure is expensive at $39.00 for 1ltr and you need part a and b so $80.00 each time.

is bote cote much more expensive?

oh and when i say i use it on...

well all i know is i haven't heard any issues with everdure. and i personally haven't had any rot issue after using it. boat builders still use and recommend it.

I guess unless i see rot problems...

yeah i figured i would just file the corners.

After some thought for now i have decided to finish the job by hand with wood file, sand paper, and hand saw.

I am finding the expense and...

those pictures are after the fact, and a bit of a messy cut.

I think my biggest problem is dont seem to be able to cut straight with a jig-saw even with that red eye lazer beam on it. i guess thus the reason to finish of with the router.

However i cant...

good advice, thank you :)

russ

I am cutting some floor out of 15mm marine ply and finding the jig-saw is less than desirable and figured a hand held router would do the job much more accurately and much quicker?

I may only do a...

what i am told is it seals out moisture 100% and is used in boat repair places regularly (the ones i visit anyway). And putting it along all end grain it seeps in to prevent any moisture ever...

sorry i forgot to mention that, it was 15mm. It was about another 60$ cheaper had i went with 12mm.

it had to buy 2 sheets to get what i needed. it's only for my 4.29 tinnie but i wanted a fairly...

Sorry if everyone already knows this but i found it confusing.

I phoned Mr Ply this morning to see if they had some marine ply in stock. Then i asked where they were at underwood because the...

lol, i think there is some truth in that :)

yep it sure does. thats why my boat dry weight is still a bit over 300KG. I forgot to mention my weight was measured on a travel lift scale. Not 100% accurate but not far off.

mine with 6 cyl ford motor, 200ltr tank, 350ltr water tank, anchor, gen etc... is a total of 400KG.

hmmm.... I have a Hartley 30' double diag/plan and it is about 3.3 tonne with no fuel or water on board.

So i would hazard a guess at maybe 1000-1500KG?

Local delivery to Brisbane is only about 5-6$ but i normally buy a few hundred dollars of stuff every month off them.

And if you...

That is expensive compared to $9.21 inc GST. These come in extra large too which is good. If you normally wear large in latex then you basically have to get extra large in nitrile because of the...

How cheap? what did you pay and who from? I pay $9.21 Protex Nitrile box of 100's.

Yes your right, it's probably more to do with fasing them out of the health care sector. However I think it's worht noting why and the implications it may have even if only used in woodworking...

I was told a while ago that all powdered gloves were to be fased out becaue of the health risks involved. an example for info http://www.dentalindia.com/risky.html

Hi mik, you must have missed my above post :) link to some pics http://www.razgo.com/cat/cat.htm and it is 11.8m LOA including the swim deck. 4.5m wide. a bit wider at teh front but i haven't done a...

Thanks Michael, yeah i will probably just get advice from the boatbuilders at the marina and go with the advice. It spent nearly 5 weeks on the hardstand getting rot removed and repaired.

And i...

No this is an existing twin hull cat approx 10 years old or soand it was gutted a while ago. All structure is intact and surveyed and is fully insured. I'ts just that it has no walls/lining on the...

I will be doing the intoerior of my cat soon and was looking at different options and came across this bamboo ply http://www.bamboorefined.com.au/bamboo_ply_sheeting.htm

supposedly just as good...

I get them through this medical company http://www.medsurg.com.au/

I am always buying medical supplies so i get delivery which i think is about $5.00 per delivery. If you live in Brisbane I am...

Its all good :). I thought it must be something to do with the whole thread. I forgot to mention the brand name i have been using, which is Mcneils surgical vinyl powderfree.

Boatmilk, I am not sure i understand the joke? The question was asked about gloves and not many people gave prices and what they use. And since i use vinyl for all odd jobs inculding antifouling,...

Great thread. I use vinyl gloves and only pay $4.50 box of 100's. They don't conform like nitrile but they do the job well and cost far less.
