    Yes, to protect the cane from wet and dry cycles which will promote rot.

    How do you prep the mastic coating before primer? Does it need sanding? Or do you just prime right over it?

  • @OrcaboatsCa
    @OrcaboatsCaАй бұрын

    Trick is to get it on as smooth as possible on each coat by applying it in small sections and then smoothing out with water. Once the mastic is dry, it can be sanded to get a smoother surface prior to primer paint, but will take more effort if the application of the mastic was haphazard and sloppy.

    Love your videos! What is the height of the spacer and and height/thickness of the 8 pieces that make up the lip?

  • @OrcaboatsCa
    @OrcaboatsCa2 ай бұрын

    The lip is usually 3/8" thick when finished and around 3/4 above the deck to underside so spacer is 3/4". The lip is comprised of at least 6-8 pieces of very thin hardwood so that lip is almost 3/4 wide . Hope that answers your question.

  • @OrcaboatsCa
    @OrcaboatsCa2 ай бұрын

    Vertical pieces are usually around 2" tall. Extended slightly below deck to trim flush later and after lip is on, then top is trimmed flush with lip.

    Thank you very much for your video. Very informative on hanging seats and depth of hanging seats. One question though. Exactly how far fore and aft do you position the seats? How far from the bow to the bow seat and how far from the stern to the stern seat? Again thanks for the information

  • @OrcaboatsCa
    @OrcaboatsCa3 ай бұрын

    If you have a set of plans, there should be some information on the drawings. Or you can calculate out based on weights of paddlers so that the boat will trim properly. But that does not always work so I just place the forward seat one scupper more aft for leg room up front. A lot of plans are based on older traditional canoes that the more modern ones are modelled after.

    On the gun you have you can release the pressure on the piston by pressing the lever on the back of the handle to stop the dripping. Upgrading to a power caulking tool is a good investment for those of us who are getting on a bit and don't have the hand strength we used to have. Cheers Eric

  • @OrcaboatsCa
    @OrcaboatsCa6 ай бұрын

    Yes I can release pressure on the handle, but that does not pull back the plastic plunger which still as pressure on the caulking inside. I hear you on the hand strength, though. If I am using a pretty thick caulking and only have a small hole cut, I find myself using two hands.

  • @greenbridge1460

  • @OrcaboatsCa
    @OrcaboatsCa6 ай бұрын

    I was looking at the Makita 18V gun, but every time I have to caulk, it is just for a small amount and then I think I don' t really need the expense. On amazon now for $278. I am sure once I have one, I would wonder why I never got one earlier.
