Default Stanchion base backing plates

Care to actually aid the fellow and tell him what kind of epoxy?


Would a 'marine' epoxy be a suitable material? One with 'thick' written on
the tin? (As opposed to 'thin and runny'.) By 'thick', I take it that Mooron
means something that would be suitable as a filler, given that the idea is
to fill the gap between a flat plate and a slightly curved ceiling.

Anyway, what should I do about the paint/antifoul on the rudder? Paint
first, feather the edge and then antifoul over it, or antifoul first,
feather, and paint over the edge of the antifoul?
