OMG I took a torch to my EP Nesting Pram!
Well, sort of....
So I'm cutting her apart this morning. I used a 15" Japanese Pull saw that worked very nicely. Only one little "oops" to fix but that's what epoxy is for.
Well I get her all cut but no separation. Hmmm.....those 5/16 carriage bolts look like they have some resin on them. Well, I had to think about this one for awhile. I finally grabbed a piece of aluminum sheet and some tin snips. Drilled ot out a 5/16 hole. Added a fender washer to the tin and now I have a nice little heat shield. Out comes the propane torch. I light it up and turn down the flame as low as I can get it without it going out. Just a tiny flame. Now let's put that flame on the end of a carriage bolt and count to 30. Yep, I can just smell a little resin. Slide a little pry bar between the bulkheads......gently...little more.....ahh. There it goes.
Onto the the other five and before you know it......
I have two boats!
Well sort of....
Now, where did I put my sander.
Have a great day,
Captain Pearl
