[QUOTE="Tinny Fleet, post: 456609, member: 22140"] Friends: As my tin boats continue to age gracefully, the oars are aging way faster and not elegantly! Of special concern is that the oar blades are delaminating as vertical cracks are showing up where they were glued together. Also they are beat up on the very end (tip) where they banged into rocks, etc. Hey, if they were like new I wouldn't be out fishing, right? :) I can figure out the rest of it (sand, varnish, paint, etc.) but the blades are the key. Whats the best approach to getting them back to battery? And if you are recommending an epoxy or fiberglass product, could you please be specific? There are so many out there. Thanks in advance!
