Mount Pads

[mbd]

Thanks Al. Nice site. I've been wondering about prefab plastic sheets not only for the pads, but also for backing plates. I'll have to look into that a bit more. Though, I must say I prefer Admin Bill's functional and decorative teak backings for the cabin. (I'd still like to know how he mounted the handrails opposite each other - one outside and one inside)

And yep! That's what I'm talking about Bill. Though, I was thinking I'd make a mold, then sand down the the piece and glue it in place. But, your way is more straightforward. Nice results too.

2 questions: 1. Do I need high densitiy filler? I'll be recoring under the mast too, methinks. and 2. Did you reuse your deck skins on your recore, of glass and new skin on top? OK, 3. What did you use for core material?

PS. I didn't even consider trying to mount the stern rail on the taff rail. Nice and out of the wet deck area, but how on earth did you back those? Must've just used washers?
