I've been waiting for the rain to let up to paint my decks. My boat is like an old house and has odd problems. I've wrestled with the wood cabin to fiberglass deck joint over the years and decided to do what's done with some of the wooden boats here. I cut a small gain in the mahogany, ground down a recess in the fiberglass decks, and epoxied in a 1" strip of glass tape. The problem was water ingress through a bedded trim piece tha covers the joint. A good system, but after 50 years, the area was sort of torn up from screws and prying putty knives, water would get behind and lift varnish and was damaging the cabin. After the epoxy, I used West Six Ten in caulking tubes to form a fillet joint. West claims Six Ten is more flexible which is a good thing. I don't think the joint moves but the solid glass decks, despite being a 1/2" thick flex a little. Then some fairing with 407,...I took the fillet a full 3/4" up the cabin side to hide most of the damage areas. And then finally, a couple of coats of deck paint on the old decks.When a boat gets this old, you're way beyond things like gelcoat and the worn down look 5 decades have wrought. You're into paint and varnish regularly on everything. It's more work but it's always fun to see parts of it look new again. Now I'll let the sun do it's "cosmetics" and hopefully blend in(bleach) the newly worked areas of mahogany. My boat is never really "done", it just takes seasonal breaks to go sailing. This year in many quiet coves, it will be more fun to sit on deck and watch the sunset.
