Default A great day for boat repairs

A pretty Spring day. Took part of the morning to repair a spot on my
Tolman where I put he epoxy on in too cold weathe4r and it did not
adhere well enough. Drilled holes thru the glass and into the wood
and injected epoxy with a syringe then seriously clamped it.

If you are going to do much of that, you seriously need to invest in a
vacuum pump...

I haven't thought of doing fiberglass/ epoxy work on my boat till the
day temp gets in a high of at least 75 degrees.

BTW, Fast Orange gets unset epoxy off your hands very well.

Today I replaced the stock water/fuel separator on my bass boat with a
Racor with a clear bowl. I could never understand how you are supposed
to tell when the sealed filters are in need of replacement.

Yes but you are doing something wrong if you need that. You will get
sensitized to it eventually, potentially very serious, and you can
never work with epoxy again.

Putting aside your insane political posts, you seem only slightly
abnormal.

Change the filter once or twice a season. More often if you have a known
water problem.
Hint: pour the filter contents into a glass jar to see if you have a water
problem.
