Rich, your cockpit cover has torn at the back end of your boom ......the
pretty, purple piece of form you put on top of the boom end to prevent
this didn't work against the forces of nature. Hopefully, we are over
the worst of winter's weather. If there is anything I can do, let me know.

I will be brave to face a genetic engineer.....I suspect the 50-50
acetone ATF concoction has more to do with the 'acetone' than the
'ATF'. I said earlier last week that I thought it was Power Steering
Fluid .......both are petroleum based......its the acetone....maybe
the petroleum based additive gives us sense of comfort....think about
it....most of us are more comfortable with a drop of 'oil' than a drop
of 'acetone'.
I think it is the 50 % acetone that makes this concoction
effective.....it can be mixed with any petroleum product 50%-50% and
do its thing.

I never cease to be amazed by the information I get from this list.
This group has an amazittng array or talents and experiences, not
just in sailing but also in engineering, metallurgy, mechanics,
chemistry etc. etc. The only engineering I can provide advice on is
genetic engineering and I suspect there are not going to be a lot of
questions on that topic. Sigh!
I will be sure to report back on tools and bolts when I find what
gets this one off. I may buy a few wrenches just to see how well
each works in this not uncommon situation. My box of ratcheting
wrenches dumped over a while back and of course ended up in the bilge
in salt water. No more ratcheting happening there.
As to my real point- I had heard about 50-50 acetone ATF a long time
ago as a penetrant so I made some up to try for this experiment, but
found that the two are not miscible and phase separate almost
immediately. Is that expected and if so, which phase for the bolt? Dave
