Re: Stus-List Solvent for cleaning winches indoors?

I recommend it. Any residual petroleum based solvent could affect the grease. Dennis C. On Jan 18, 2017 10:38 AM, "David via CnC-List" wrote: So is it necessary to clean the parts with a soup solution after cleaning with kerosene...?

Re: Stus-List Solvent for cleaning winches indoors?

Same. Citrus degreaser works too. For small parts I have two large tin cans, one that is a close fit inside the other. The bottom of the inner can is drilled full of 1/8" holes. Kinda like a pasta pot. I dump solvent in and the small parts let them soak, sloosh them around (they knock

David: If you don't clean the kerosene off, you won't get a good bond between the grease and the winch parts. (Soup won't work; you need soap. LOL) Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR So is it necessary to clean the parts with a soup solution after cleaning with

Re: Stus-List Bow Hatch Replacement

Last year I got a really a good deal on new Lewmar ocean series hatches at defender's spring sale. I went with Lewmar to replace Lewmar. The frames are nearly identical, except the actual screw holes. I'm just in the process of replacing them now (too many projects last year) I did replace

Re: Stus-List Solvent for cleaning winches indoors?

John - wow - 25 years! If I don't do mine once a year I feel guilty I use mineral spirits and a tooth brush and fine brass brush! When I bought the boat the grease had turned into wax and I used a non-metallic scraper. Being in a garage is not an issue. I clean my motorcycle chain with mineral

Re: Stus-List Bow Hatch Replacement

On my C 35 MkII I got a really good deal on a Bomar hatch. It was a little larger than the old one, so I just enlarged the hole, patched with fiberglass and set the new one with 3M 4000. It fits great, no leaks. John On Tue, Jan 17, 2017 at 4:01 PM, ALAN BERGEN via CnC-List <
