  1. Thanks the tins not handy at the moment but I did just read online about the drying times.
  2. I’ve derusted, de greased and rust treated. I’m going to use Danboline bilge paint. Silly question do you give it light rub down between coats or wait for it to dry and whack another coat on. Thanks.
  3. I’m going to have another go at painting my engine bay. Last time I don’t think I did enough preparation and de rusting. I’ve got some damboline bilge paint. Im going to de rust and clean and have some vatacn rust treatment when I’m done. what’s the best undercoat if needed to use with danboline?
  4. Sorry it’s the comer of the window I think it’s leaked in the past. the holes are panel pins and bottom strip in where the gunwale is.
  5. What do people use/ recommend to remove white marks from wood where water have stained it.
  6. Sorry to bring up this old thread but does anyone find out who owns the mooring at the castle? nr parked bridge.
  7. We are on the Sharpness gloucester Canal. The router works fine it’s a TP link one, when it’s switched on I have a outdoor solwise omni direction aerial fitted. It’s when I’m just using my phone on Three. The wife is on EE and she rarely drops signal. ?? Thanks that’s great. I’ll look into it and get one on order. The cigarette plug will be cut off and wired into a on off switch in the cupboard. All fused.
  8. Thanks Alan I’m looking for a 12v regulated supply but only seem to find the wall plug type ones. have you got a link to any? Plus I seem to loose my 3 g where I am a lot And they want to push the 5g when there are places that don’t get much 3/4 g ? Thanks Simon.
  9. The power supply is on the 12v circuit off the fuse board. It Was where the satellite dish was once plugged into at the front of the boat.
  10. I’ve been using my router on the boat plugged into the 240v socket, it’s a 12v 1 amp supply. Seems daft to turn the inverter On while out. i do have a wired 12v supply near it. I know it’s a daft question but is it just a case of getting the correct end socket And inline fuse and wiring it to the 12v supply.
  11. I re did mine again last year after doing it for the first time a few years before that. The first time was a horrible dirty job getting all the muck up, second time was a breeze didn't take much to do it. I got the bituman paint from the marina, wore old overalls, long marigold gloves taped up, shoe protectors and a shoe protector fitted over my hair (I've got short hair), and wore a proper breathing mask with filters in which helped with the smell. I used a combination of brush and roller several coats leaving a few days between each coat and because we don't live on the boat I left it for a few weeks to cure. Gave it a good rinse out before I re filled it again. I will probably do it again in the next few years while its easy to do.
  12. I don't know who the son is doing it with but since he has been home from Uni Mid March his PC has been whirring away doing something similar. I dont really understand it, Im just paying for the electric ?
  13. My beta used to chirp at me A bit. I found out It was the Thin cable on the alternator was breaking. Over a certain revs stopped.
