Stus-List Re: Rub rail gouge repair

[dwight veinot via CnC-List]

Yes I agree very good. Everything about the way they built only 147 35 MKII
hulls was superb and has stood the test of time. Shear lines are very
appealing. The boat is quick yet has the “big boat” feel at the helm. And
rides the seas like a thoroughbred.

Stus-List Re: Rub rail gouge repair

[Shawn Wright via CnC-List]

I'm still getting the hang of coaxing the speed out of her, especially in
light air. Had a brief sail on a CM1200 race boat the other night, and it
was an eye opener - barely a breath of wind and we were making 3-4 knots
closehauled with a #4 jib. Closereaching in 10 knots we could make a steady
7knots, and then we had a fun return making 10 knots in about 14-15 using
the huge A1 (1250sqft). Now I know why this boat leaves everyone in its
wake! Quite a ride.
We looked at some really comfortable looking cruisers for our next boat,
but I still want something that can move in light air, yet be comfortable
in big seas... the search continues. Meanwhile, we'll enjoy what we have. :)

 The biggest problem with sealers and adhesives (like 5200) is they get
 dirty, and seem to attract discoloration.

 Be interesting to see how it holds up for you, you have a good
 environment for testing.



 But, wait, wait, isn’t there more?

 FWIW, I've been working on repairing some deep gouges in Touche's rub
 rail from Hurricane Sally last year.  The idea was to fill the gouges with
 some sort of white "stuff" and then wet sand it.



 What didn't work: 3M 5200.  100% fail.  Not only didn't it sand well,
 it didn't adhere to the rubber rub rail.  Just balled up and rubbed off.



 What did seem to work:  white Flex Paste (not Flex Seal).  It actually
 stuck well to the rub rail and sanded well.  Took a lot of elbow grease to
 wet sand but the final result seems to pass the 10 foot test.  It's a LOT
 of work, however.  Initial sand to shape with 220 then progressively
 finer.

 I also found that lightly wet sanding with 800-1000 grit restores the
 white rubber.  That question has appeared on this list many times.  I've
 never liked any of the suggested chemical or solvent solutions.  Not overly
 happy about wet sanding it either but might actually be less damaging than
 chemicals.



 Your experience may vary.

Stus-List Changing subject when subject changes

[Bob Mann via CnC-List]

Please modify the subject line when changing the subject of your messages.

What either of these two (below) has to do with Rub rail gouge repair is beyond 
me. Personally, I'm more concerned when the original discussion is not 
something I'm interested in (and don't read the thread) but it changes to 
something that does interest me but I'll never see it because the subject line 
wasn't updated.
