![]() There have been products around since the 1950's which are good for treating planking but may not have the stength for ribs and beams. However you can always build in structural reinforcement with glass fibre, metal, wood, plywood, or some combination and have a repair which is stonger, more rot resistent, and more durable than the original. For example you can cut out the rot, drill holes, insert metal rods, and build up with resin or in some cases cement mortar. It all depends on what parts you need to repair. Watch the weight when replacing wood with non-wood substitutes. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William R Watt National Capital FreeNet Ottawa's free community network homepage: www.ncf.ca/~ag384/top.htm warning: non-FreeNet email must have "notspam" in subject or it's returned |
