Hi Martin& Dave,
I've been involved with 4 in-the-water boat deck
restorations here in an area just north of the
PNW, (around Lat 49' 10 - 30" N.)
Since winter is a good time for in-the-water boat
work in our area, all were covered with a 2x4 &
1x4 framework peaked over the boom and covered in
plastic (poly or trap) down to the
toe-rail. All marinas have a "no sanding"
policy but not one of us suffered a complaint,
maybe due to the containment, lack of traffic at
this time of year and good vacuum practices. Or
perhaps because we are all, just good fellows. I like to believe the latter. :)
As you might imagine, these enclosures are very
pleasant to work in during our typical winter.
Cheers, Russ

quick post in my blog showing the tools
Dave,
I took a look at your new blog post detailing
the tools you have used on the window frame clean up. Nice write up, thanks.
I am jealous about your having access to
compressed air and working where you can use
it. Where Calypso is moored there are
restrictions on what work can be done in a
slip. I am already dancing down the line with
electric sanding/grinding equipment and I am
sure running a compressor and air tools would get me kicked out.
I believe many of the cnc-listers that are
facing a DIY window or other deck
repair/replacement project need to limit the
mess, repainting, or do not have the experience
and confidence to perform âbody and fenderâ
type work on the shiny parts of a boat. I
recall the day when Calypsoâs co-owner and I
finally faced up to the amount of repair
Calypsoâs deck needed and accepted a full
repaint would be needed. Once freed from the
need to limit shiny paint damage we got out the
big boy grinding and sanding equipment which
greatly sped up the early phases of the repairs.
This month marked to point where way more hand
sanding is needed with the resulting wear and
tear on the arms and wrists (as you mention in
your blog post). I have been using hand sanding
blocks and foam shapes (purchased from auto body
repair equip sources) to improve the hand
sanding ergonomics especially around the many
corners and rounded shapes of a C&C. The sticky
back sand paper option increased efficiency over
the old school paper clamps. I have had good
luck sourcing abrasives through several web
sites including Industrial Abrasives.

Gary,
Donât get discouraged. It will work out.
Thatâs what I sleep telling myself every day...
Since most of the other posters have offered
really good suggestions I decided to gen-up a
quick post in my blog showing the tools that I
have use and am using for the same project.
Hope it helps.
Best,
Dave Godwin
