I had the very same question and called the 877 number on the tube for Marine Technical Support. I was told that there would be no problem if the work area dropped in temperature below the recommended application temperature. In fact, the temp can drop below freezing. The curing process will take lo...

Update on the heating issue: I went with the pellet stove. Works very well. Just got it hooked up today which was a mild one so it's still untested in really cold weather. Push one button and it ignites itself. Easy install. Three speeds for the blower fan. Unit also has a fan for the exhaust so it ...

Covering screw heads

Good feedback, guys. We know infrared is out. Still like the pellet stove idea since it does have fresh air feed and is a sealed unit. If it helps with more suggestions, here are photos of the shack I need to heat. Overhead door is the only access. No service door. But sure would like to add one. I'...

Thanks, Phil, sounds like a good set up. Thought about the 100lb. propane tank but access to the building is not easy in the winter. Not sure I can wrestle one or more of those babies through a foot or more of snow. I know I need to insulate. That's whole 'nother project for sure. What do you, or an...

How do you heat your shed?
Winter is coming to the north country. Wondering how many different ways a person can heat a 16' x 24' uninsulated shed? Don't have to have it heated 24/7...just while working or curing paint or varnish. Leaning toward a small pellet stove. I have electric but no gas at the site.

Steering Wheel Restoration
Where does one go to learn how to restore a steering wheel? Failing that, is there somewhere I can send the steering wheel to be restored? http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb79/vernonfarmer/Cruisers%20Inc/Downtown022.jpg http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb79/vernonfarmer/Cruisers%20Inc/3boats015...

Cruisers Transom
Why did Cruisers build their transoms with beveled edge blocks on the interior? And why the did they leave those spaces open? (Pics are not my boat, but mine has the same transom construction.)

Dan, I absolutely loved your documentation of the Mariner's restoration. Truly great pictures and text. I have just picked up a '58 Cruisers Holiday which will need the same type of treatment. I only hope mine comes out half as nice as yours. By the way...do you rent out that army of craftsmen? John...

I know the yellow painted deck was original to the Holidays. (Good picture on the Thompson Boats CDROM). That would be the cheapest and easiest way to go. I just thought the blonde wood grain with lots-o-varnish would look way cool with the dark covering boards. http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb...
