Rot Conclusion
Well I was hoping the Timber Rot, thread would work its way up to something useful for boat guys. Quite a few industries have "Systems"in place - but it seems I couldn't find one for boats. As a consultant - I track and solve problems through systems. Glasshouses have systems in place to reduce fungus damage by controlling temp, humidify with ventilation, - constant checks and sprays, and removing isolating potential problems, are part of the horticultural way of life, and well understood. The same is true of many food and health related industries - system related problem solving - But I am stuffed if I could see any kind of a system for boats? This also gave me reason to doubts the experts here, as or anywhere on this subject - As there was no system procedures as a base for discussion, or did they have any, or know what the hell it was. But a part was called constant monitoring - so what are the monitoring procedures - what is it you are looking for the idicators? The experts here didn't know? So it just a bunch of trade types - not experts at all. So my only conclusion for the bluster, bull****, sales hype, and miracle solutions, and the general ignorance - as its seems even the expert boat builders are not relying on second hand mis-quoted info - A point is, one boat builder said as long as the timber is less than 20% moisture - it is safe - I say Rubbish, as any drip of condensation on just a small portion of that timber is enough to activate the spore, one slight piece of dampness, drip, condensation, or under a damp rag is enough - You should be visually aware of any slight water stain on that timber. The dangers of sealing in timber, lack of ventilation - storing boats, even out of water is a dangerous practice, without ventilation. Some of the generalization by experts is stupid and cavalier. I think the only real solution, is in fact for Marine Safety Authorities. As I see it as their responsibility to set out some guidelines, and make recommendations on a series of steps for both prevention discursion and repair, with a practical website with sensible photos for ID etc. To many experts, to much bluster, to much ignorance, a dangerous combination - So we need someone to sign the bloody thing off with some authority. And I would say its in the ballpark of the Marine Authorities. You would think they would have had something sorted out by now? Interesting thread. Its still rational. |
