Toe Rail Recaulk


I have been waiting patiently to see if there were any real sailors here
and apparently there are NOT.

Real sailors would know "toerail" is one word. Duh!

You're welcome!

I've told you before Willie, keep your mouth closed and people may
think that you are stupid; open it and they'll know it.

Perhaps he was thinking of the Taff Rail...

Toe Rail Recaulk

I'm at the stage in my chores that I'm digging out all the old
caulking (3M
101 at the time - it's no longer available) to recaulk our toerail.

My fiberglass supplier, with a long history in the boatbuilding biz,
is
recommending Bostic 940FS. Water cleanup and tooling, it looks easy
to work
with, with a 20 minute skin time..

I'm having some serious questions as to the wisdom of using this
material.
The 101 I'm taking out in some places is very resistant to removal
(others
pull our fine with the V-shaped tool I'm using to get under the center
and
catch the edges in one pass).

However, that's merely caulk, and not an adhesive. Knowing 5200's
reputation for later removal makes me think twice. I hope I don't,
but
realistically I expect that at some point in the future, I'll be
recaulking
the toe rail. Whether I'd be able to get this stuff out without
treating it
(time, money, ?? impact on the paint/teak) is keeping my attention
right
now.

Has anyone used this stuff (Bostic 940FS) to say how it behaves,
particularly in having to remove it?

Secondly, if you've had years of experience (how does it hold up?),
if not
this, what do you use which is currently available (101's not)?

Thanks.

Skip

The majority seem to be using either 3M 5200, or it's quick setting
brother, or one of the Sikaflex sealants/adhesives.

Bostic 940FS has a tensile strength of 255 psi @ non-stated
elongation, but over 100%

3M 5200 has a tensile strength of 700 psi with 1350% elongation before
break.

The Bostic cleans up with water, the 3M cleans up with 3M cleaner,
white spirits, diesel fuel, etc.

But a question. If you use 5200 why do you think that you would later
be recaulking?

Cheers,

Bruce



WRONG!

Good Old Boat knows their nautical terms. You and Skippy don't.

It's that simple.

WRONG! Good Old Boat Magazine uses the correct term "toerail".

It's that simple. "Toe rail' is a lubberly version of the old,
time-tested term 'toerail'.

Willy boy you remind me of the old Jewish woman watching the WW II
parade in Times Square, New York. When she saw her son she cried out,
"Oh Look! There is my Irvine, look every is out of step except him".

I provide some 51,000,000 examples of 'Toe Rail" and you provide one
example of "toerail".....

I've told you before Willie, keep your mouth closed and people may
think that you are stupid; but you opened it and now they know.

Shortly after coming aboard my can when I joined the Navy, I wanted to
take a look at the chain locker.
Asked a Boatswain Mate something like, "Where's the hatch to get below
the forecastle?"
He didn't understand me and asked me to repeat.
I did. He sill had to think about it, then he laughed and said.
"You mean foc'sle," and gave me directions.
And of course boatswain is bosun.
Holy Worcestershire!

Exactly. The "l" in folk gave me pause until I said it a few times.
"Meet the Fockers" first came to mind. Nope.
You have it exactly right.

Hey, Tim. Hope your boating went well this year.
In about 23 days I'll be in Florida, and get to see some boats.
Might even get in one.
Or I might just fish at the dock.
Any way it turns out, it'll be nice!
