Stus-List Source for long stainless/brass screws

I'm having difficulty finding a supplier of the 6" screws - preferably stainless, but will settle for brass - to re-install the interior and exterior handrails on our C 30 MKI. I'm not sure if they are a no. 10 or 12. Recommendations would be much appreciated, preferably in Canada. David J.

I used Dawn (green) this week simply because the stuff our club buys has run out (they buy a 45g drum for $800, it is enviro safe and *very* effective and concentrated, like one tsp in a bucket is plenty). The Dawn seemed to work fairly well, but definitely not as concentrated as the good stuff.

Stus-List Favorite deck cleaner/recipe?

Hi David, How about your boat's deck self-bleaching / cleaning every time it rains? That's pretty much where mine is these days. I give it a bleach / Woody's wax in the spring and another one in the fall. Beyond that I rinse the deck once a month or two and clean the black streaks every month

FYI, the butyl under my deck fills that I just removed was thin, hard as a rock, and embedded into the non-skid. I tried removing with acetone, but progress was very slow. I then used a pick to scrape the butyl out of the non-skid nooks and crannies, which worked but is tedious. I finished

Re: Stus-List Butyl tape

My philosophy is if there's a chance the deck hardware may flex, use butyl. If not use LifeSeal. For instance, I bedded Touche's chain plates with butyl. The winches got LifeSeal. Bed-It butyl is the best. I quit using 4200 years ago after getting several partially cured tubes. I much prefer

I will back what Dave Goodwin and others have said, and make two more observations.  1)  Go with Bed-It Buytl Tape, as it seems to have the same properties as the original C material, and I find it goes on much quicker than stuff in a tube.  Not only that, it doesn't dry out, so that roll will

I am repainting the deck and the rebedding the hardware. The original hardware (gel coat under it) used butyl tape and in most places had not failed. The parts also come up easily when you want to pull them off. The ones using 4200 or equivalent have failed, often around the screws, it is

Re: Stus-List Butyl tape

C (or a previous owner) used butyl everywhere on my boat, and while it had failed in a few spots I'd add that the 4200 I used on a hatch failed after 2 years, so both can fail...  The hatch is on with butyl now, for 6 years, no problem. Graham Collins Secret Plans C 35-III #11 On 2020-05-22
