    My First Conversion

    Thank you Brine! The dealer recommended I use MinWax spar urethane to treat the lumber, and I did. MinWax spar urethane (purchased at Home Depot) does not cause pitting. It's a little expensive, $48 a gallon, but that's cheap compared to buying marine lumber. I had about a pint left over so a...

    My First Conversion

    I purchased the boat this year, March 11. It took me a couple weeks to deck-it-out. I didn't drill any holes in the hull. I have a 70 lb. thrust Minn Kota Edge 2 bow mount trolling motor, and run a 55 lb. thrust Minn Kota transom mount. I mounted the livewell timer and running light switch on a...

    How bout them schroomers in the house....

    I found my first morels here in Clark County, Ohio, on April 9. That's early for this area. Especially when I'm finding nice yellows. Found about 100 so far. Looked the past couple days and found nothing. It hasn't rained here for a couple weeks. Rain is expected the next four days so the...

    The 2010 Official Vegetable Garden thread!

    Here in Southwest, Ohio, I'm blessed with some pretty good soil. Each season prior to planting, I till my garden a minimum of two times, sometimes three. After the first time, I spread pellet lime to neutralize the acid in the soil, and a good all-around fertilizer, by hand. Then I till it into...

    The 2010 Official Vegetable Garden thread!

    I plant about a half acre vegetable garden. I'm looking forward to eating vine ripened tomatoes, I love them. Early Girls are my favorite tomato, but Cherokee Purple is a very close second. The store-bought tomatoes taste artificial. Last year I planted my Sweet Snow Peas (eatable pods), and my...

    marine grade plywood

    I treated all of my frame lumber, and my regular plywood with Spar Urethane, apply according to directions. I applied two coats to each piece, or section of lumber, lightly sanding with 220 sandpaper after the first coat. Spar urethane is what the boat dealer recommend I use. He said it's used...

    marine grade plywood

    txneal, I just purchased a new Crestliner 1448 jon boat. I am going to deck-out the boat. The dealer recommended I treat my wood with MinWax, "Spar Urethane". You can purchase a quart at Home Depot for $14 and some change. I checked Lowe's first, they did not have MinWax Spar Urethane. For best...
