Re: Broom Rapier Mk. 2
Which of the Sikaflex caulks works best- and can be sanded? And what varnish worked over the top? The internet is full of horrors of caulk not setting/varnish not adhering..! The deck isn't really lovely enough for varnish- and has a lot of steel nails along the edges which were intended to be cover...

Re: Broom Rapier Mk. 2

Re: Broom Rapier Mk. 2
Thanks- they have been glued and screwed! Keel rubbing strip epoxied on and the bottom is all filled and sanded. Interesting to see the subtle distortion of the bottom from old style trailers with the keel strip being over 1cm higher where the trailer rollers were. IMG_4348.jpg Flipped it over today...
