The work begins

[Doc \(The Tin Boat King\)]

Started the clean up on the new old boat today. Anyone have an idea on how to get the old carpet glue off the tin. Also, what is a
good paint stripper for alum (this hull is the uglyest blue and white).
I'm going to install a stick steering (what I grew up with in Maine) and I'm looking for some used parts. Thanks for any
helpfull hints. Doc

If you have trouble getting used parts in your local area try calling
Harry's marine in Quincy MA. located on RT. 3A, This guy can get just about
anything. His phone number is or was 617-479-6437 but I'm not sure if the
area code has changed.

A (carpet!) razor works fine on the flat surfaces.

Doc, when I was in the navy we used a product called "Toulene" to clean
some pretty nasty stuff off alum on the planes. Not sure what a
commercial brand name would be. You have to be careful what you use on
alum...it oxidizes and corodes with certain chemicals and dissimiliar
metals. Probably be smart to ask an "expert"...local marina, etc. Good
luck on the project, actually sounds like a fun thing...always keeping
in mind the end result, and water under the hull <grin>

Toluene is a known cancer causing agent. And has therefore been taken off
the retail market.

Here's a link to the state of Maine's fact sheet re toluene:

http://www.google.com/search?q=toluene&sourceid=opera&num=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

John, if you have none of the symptoms listed, you are probably OK.
If I had your history with the stuff, however, I would get checked out
medically.

Take care!

interested in suspendng jerkbaits in your favorite pro team color? : )

Thanks Guy! Other than the "memory loss" part, I think I'm o.k., what
were we talking about? <grin>
Thanks for the info, on my next check up I will ask my doctor if there
are any concerns. I think all's probably o.k., I used the stuff outside,
and not on a regular basis, but I appreciate the information!

I am NOT saying that toluene can't cause health problems, but the EPA
and CDC both say it is NOT a carcinogen. Also, I believe you can still
buy it in paint stores. A quick google found it for sale at one place at
least: http://www.tri-esssciences.com/toluene.htm

Try this URL for info:

Do you really believe the things that government agencies
tell you. Toluene was known to be some nasty stuff way back in the early
'70's. That's when I came to know about it thanks to Uncle Sam's Misguided
Children .

It's on California's proposition 65 list, just like lead.

Way to go, Doc...spoken like a true Mainiac (or 'Mainah' for the
outtastaters who like to hear it that way)

[alwayfishking]

Yeah probably, but would pain me to do so, should I give it a bum tail? We
could call it the Steve Mc Nair : )
