Originally I had what I thought was a pretty good idea of how I wanted the decks to be (see in original thread 1973 Duracraft). Now I am doing some re-thinking. If I...

My Microsoft "Media Station" wireless keyboard/mouse combo crashed today. Whats your preference on keyboards? The one that just went out had been a real "trooper" taking a lot of abuse and use.

Whats the best way to remove this crap from aluminum? The whole underside of the boat is covered in it. :evil:

I have beed experimenting with Alumaweld trying to get the nack of it. Was gonna include it in our DIY video on boat restoration / modification but I cant seem to get the stuff to take. I have "tinned" the surface. Cleaned of the slag. Then re heat surface then apply rod. I just can't get it to...
