Hi All
I have removed the aft corner Sampson posts from my old 26" timber cruiser as I noticed that the stainless steel bolts were loose. Sure enough the heads cracked off the bolts so I've bought nice new stainless kit to replace these fasteners. I'm keen to give the actual posts a birthday and was planning to treat them with the full 5 coats of Everdure and then paint with a couple of coats of white enamel. They are very heavy and still feel solid and strong.
My questions are:
1) Am I on the right track?
2) We have had recent rain...how long must I leave the posts to dry before I can apply the Everdure...days or weeks?
3) Should I use a resin or similar to fill in some of the cracks?
4) I'm keen to polish the top plates (presumably brass?)...what's the best approach for this?
Please refer to the attached image.
I'm a new boater so apologies for the basic questions and any advice is appreciated.
Thank you
Lynton
