[Public-List] Cockpit coaming

[Glenn]

Bill,  Coaming as in the Cockpit coaming?  If so they come off very easily by unbolting the six or so machine screws through the center of the boards.  The nuts are accessible from inside the cockpit lockers.  You need two people for the two forward bolts closest to the cabin - one to hold a screwdriver against the slot end, another to put a socket wrench on the nuts.  Both boards will come off in 15 or 20 minutes work...  

No need to cut anything.

Everyone knows that when starting a job from bare wood, one needs to get the recommended thickness ... But the trouble is this... after three coats or so, the wood starts looking good, so they stop.    It's not the varnish's fault if the application is too thinly.
