Re: Rebeding fittings. Best practices?

Interesting Thinwater, I really haven't used Tefgel at all. Duralac is the goto stuff down here. I like it, and have used a fair bit over the years. And the results with this mast show it works. ...

Re: Rebeding fittings. Best practices?

Yep, its the hydraulic boom vang fitting. I guess its taken a pounding over the years. It should be easy enough to weld up and reinforce properly now its off the mast.

Re: Rebeding fittings. Best practices?

As long as it doesn't take a millon hours, looks vaguely ok from 10 feet and isn't going to corrode away into a pile of aluminium oxide I'll be very happy.

Sanding wise thats pretty much my plan....

Re: Rebeding fittings. Best practices?

I like the sound of 400 much better than 800. As long as it isn't going to look all swirly from the dock. If I leace it bare it should quickly dull into a nice grey patina anyways. Suits me perfectly.

Re: Rebeding fittings. Best practices?

^^ ahh well, thanks for the heads up. Probably just go back to using white electrical tape. Seems to hold up resonably well. Just have to replace it every few years.

Re: Rebeding fittings. Best practices?

^^ Thanks. Both very good suggestions, and I'll see if I can find some of that tape and paste. The pipe tape also seems perfect for covering the dynex dux backstay to prevent UV and chafe damage.

Re: Rebeding fittings. Best practices?

Thanks Wottie and all, good to hear about the rivnut issue, and all the monel rivets seem very good, no corrosion around them, and easy to drill out. Certainly much easier than the metal threads... ...

Rebeding fittings. Best practices?

I've finally pulled the mast. Its nearly stripped of all fittings, and after removing all the flaking paint I'll rebed the fittings, provided I find nothing to nasty underneath them.

I've always...
