Be careful. Don't let it drip into the water or you will have visitors. Not recommended..... ... it is the same philosophy as using kerosene or diesel oil on OD green or..... running a wet patch through a dirty rifle barrel. ...doesn't do the job, just makes it look like you did... Bob wasn't interested in prepping his boat properly, so he needs to cheat to give the hull a temporary shine. |

Modern conservatism. pretty much the case. just wonder how he figures it makes the rich richer Wow. two dumb statements in a row. Seriously Bobby, Waxing a boat in the water is hard enough but compounding? that's going to take a "liberal" amount of elbow grease. You really need to get your back into it. Are you really planning on standing in water with an electric buffer in hand? Hope everything works out for you. Jim |
