When we disconnect the roller furler, I wrap a large towel around it a couple times, and tape it on with duct tape. Your deck will thank you.
Coltrek also has Spartite. The Spartite should have been installed over a clean spar, so it would stick, and Vaseline, as you mention, on the collar. You might go below and take a very thin spatula and see if it slips between. If the PO didn't do this properly, hunt him down and whip him with that spatula.

I have in the background enjoying the inputs from everyone. I am planning on unstepping my mast soon. I originally had two big concerns, one was regarding the roller furling system (less of a concern now), but the other is the spartite-like mast collar. I really hope there was plenty of release Vaseline used during the initial install(before me). Has anyone come across any spartite mast problems? If so, what was the best way to cut through this material? Thanks - Paul E.
