rod box inserts
I had tried an Email and phone call to Flounderpounder to inquire about new boxes, 3 days later, no responce,must be real busy. My original boxes weren't in to bad a shape so I decided to give it a go w/ the repair. Typical cracks where the mounting screws are,discolored, and sorta flimsy by design. Purchased a can of Evercoat27 all purpose filler for the cracks and the Interlux polyurethane in white....[I read somewhere in an old post that the person wasn't happy w/the Interlux,but, the sales guy swore to me up and down it would be fine] and at 30.00 a quart it better be.After " V-ing" out the cracks w/a small triangular file I laid the filler in. Sandable in 20 mins. and feathered in a second coat. Sand that down and applied the paint.I don't have a sprayer but I do have good brushes so w/my Purdy 2", the paint goes on.I didn't think the application was going to well because it was leaving more brush marks than anticipated,but after about 10 mins. or so the brush marks were gone and it looks as if I did used a sprayer. My only complaint is that the white is too white, so on the second coat I'm going to try and tone it down w/ some tint. Shy of that, they look great and will look even nicer against the newly restored teak.
