Big D you be good or I'll send you to a old Navy MSO with a 1000' of pinepitch line and a stuffing iron and a hammer and put you in the bilge stuffing seams until its gone.

Paul you should've use 4000 that's the right one for the application you Harry the boat owner types kill me.

I would be in there forever. Wish I knew how, I could probably make a fortune. Now there's a dying art. Few people can do it right.

That's really harsh punishment Tony! And I thought all boaters were nice people!!

4000 is used when you see it . 5200 was the right stuff for the job .

I have packed many a foot of cotton . not many can say that

Cotton. That's a cheap waterman's way.

Dig D I had a Chief in the Navy that did that to me when I was 17 . It took a week for me to chalk that boat. And who said I was nice. They lie.

And King Dude 5200 is wrong in that application imo just is.

You should pass it on to a young apprentice Obi Wan Kenobi, or we'll lose the fine art forever.

Tony, I have renewed respect for you!! That's quite a disapline at 17.

I never said Tony was nice , I sure his chief had him peged right.

5200 not right ? did the cleat stand up to the stress test I gave it ?

It held up just fine

but the yellowing is unsightly

And as for that lost art I've used it up at my marnia a time or to helping the waterman and I've showed the kids the work there how. But I'll never ever will own a wood hull boat it just to much work . But I'm glad guys out there have them they're by far a better looking boat than glass. My dream boat would be steel hull with a aluminum superstructure.
