Title: Just in case...
Post by: Zoomie on July 21, 2009, 09:34:24 AM
In a few minutes I'm leaving to deliver my old sailboat (see Cal25 in For Sale). I have to motor it across the upper bay from the back of Bodkin Creek to Sparrows Point (you can google map it, about 9 miles) but I'll be crossing the channel of one of the busiest ports in the world. And I'm only pushing her with a 15 horsepower outboard while towing a 12' dinghy. And I'm only taking a vest and a 4.3" GPS.

I've sailed my mutineer from Colton's Point to the Chesapeake (more than 9 miles) but I've never had to cross through commercial traffic. So if I get run over by a big boat full of cheap Chinese bread mixers...


...see you guys.

Don't worry, Crocs have a very high impact rating.

No worries. Sorry to disappoint some of you. I survived.

And I was wearing Merrell hikers, thanks.

Zoomie, question.  I have an Eero Aarnio ball chair and I cracked it cramming through a door way.  I was reading that you fix it the same way you fix a crack in the gel coat of a sail boat.  What do I need to do this?

No srsly.

Two step process. First you have to bond the crack. I know, that sounds very sexual and I plan to use it later. Get some epoxy. It comes in a big syringe. squeeze some out onto a piece of cardboard and mix the two parts together with a popsicle stick. Spread your crack open (lulz) and apply small amounts to the inside of the crack where the two sides touch. Use VERY SMALL AMOUNTS. Tie or clamp the chair to hold your crack shut (hehehe) overnight. The next day get some 400 grit emory paper and lightly polish the bubbles that will appear when you close your crack (har har) until your crack disappears (sad face). Don't trust your eyes, feel your crack with your fingertips (wank wank). Go to your local marine supply and get the smallest container of gelcoat they sell. Mix it according to directions and apply it in thin layers with a quality brush. Then kiss your crack goodbye.

Working Time: 3 hours
Cost: $30
