    Polishing a plastic sliding hatch

    Refinish acrylic plastic without creating excess heat on the surface. Proceed gently especially the final buffing. My experience.

    Filling Holes in the spars

    Great effort and results. I would have taken it to my favorite welder and had him fill the holes.

    Polishing a plastic sliding hatch

    I should have said 50 years ago. We were casting large sculptural forms from raw materials, acrylic powder and monomer. Castings were placed in an autoclave and subjected to pressure and heat. The forms were then finished by machining, grinding and polishing. Annealing was the last step in...

    Polishing a plastic sliding hatch

    I worked with casting acrylic plastics forty years ago. After the final polishing, the castings were annealed to relieve the surface stress and prevent crazing.

    Looking for pictures of 32-200 or 32-3 gooseneck bracket

    Raw Water Cooled Atomic4, not flushing water out wet exhaust.

    E-25 for sale by owner

    Don't know much about it other than it's been at the marina (Plattsburgh Boat Basin) I'm at for at least the last 7 or so years. Spent all of the pandemic on the hard. Owned by a, French only, speaking lady out of Montreal. Many of the boats at the marina are owned by Canadians'. Tiller...
