...a seam-filling project.

It's been a long time since I have worked on a wood boat, so long that
even if I could remember what I used to fill seams and then paint them,
I'm sure it no longer would be available.

So, here's what we have...a seam between two planks on a deck. I want to
fill the seam with some sort of material that will dry to a fairly smooth,
sandable surface, be waterproof, and be paintable.

Plastic Wood? Anything better? I remember some "Petit" brand products from
50 years ago, but I doubt they're still manufactured.

?



Bondo.



Bondo? I don't think so.

I agree with that.

Ask the guys on rec.boats.building, someone will have a good
suggestion.

What kind of boat is this?

It's an old rowing dory. The hull is in good shape, the small forward
deck looks like pine. I might remove the deck entirely, and replace it
with a couple of pieces of 1" oak I have in the garage, or buy a nice
piece of marine ply.

It "may" be a bad idea to use the oak, especially if it is heavier
than the origional wood. I don't know how big the deck is but you
could offset the designed pitch of the boat which could result in poor
handling, or even safety issues. Marine ply is still pretty heavy
compared to pine, look into Occoume marine usually sold in the BS 1088
classification. It may be a better bet and much more stable than
typical marine ply. Oh by the way, chuck you farley, still waiting for

Remember when the kids were little and you used a desklamp to make
shadows on a wall and had the kids sit sideways while you traced out
the outline of their head on black paper?

Tha's a profile. :)

look at the top of the post next to your name where it says "view
profile". You can go there and read past posts by a poster to
determine if he/she has posted relavent information, or if they just
throw intellectually lazy attacks to gain attention. Me, sometimes I
troll, sometimes I try to add good info but you can make your own
judgements there.

It's what you used to have before you started exercising.

Ahem...

I happen to have in dry storage, 12 pieces of 3 inch thick, 24 inch
wide, mostly clear pine which would be perfect for that project.

You'd have to resaw the planks, but they would be perfect.

I'll let you have them cheap.
