[Public-list] replacing spreaders

[Tom S.]

Jock,  I concur with your spreader instructions. But would like to ask 
if you would also recommend  Easypoxy for my homebuilt wooden tender. I 
originally painted it with a white high gloss porch paint (Probably a 
bad choice) and it has developed a lot of small cracks in the paint. It 
consists mostly of 1/4 inch marine plywood, kind of a sailing pram plan 
with mahogany trim.
