All that money on coatings on a ruined deck feels like sows ear stuff to me. People get very sniffy about exterior grade ply, but for a budget de...

There have been a lot of classes called Moth. It's an obvious enough name!

Re: Varnish removal
Is it actually necessary to remove it? If at all possible the paint companies recommend sanding nack, not removal.

But technically that wasn't *Brunel's* Great Western Railway... Neyland was the South Wales Railway, which wasn't amalgamated with the Great Western until after Brunel died...

Re: Seastar??????? On Facebook
I don't have access to that Facebook group, but as I recall the Dodnor Seastar was built by/for a Sailing School on the Isle of Wight where I spent a few weeks working in my youth before I realised that working in sailing schools was ... not what I needed to do... My recollection is that it was not ...

Re: Zenith - Swedish B Class.

Re: 'Salty' ply
Difficult to think of anything that would remove salt more effectively than plain freshwater without soap.

Eposeal 300
I need about 100ml of eposeal 300 for a musical instrument project, and my supply is (very) life expired and discoloured. I really don't want to shell out 30 quid for a litre, 90% of which will probably sit on the shelf until its unusable (waste in so many senses!), so I'm wondering if anyone in the...
