Default RE: Sterling 48

Now I understand how you are launching your boat(s).  For some reason I had it in my head you were "sliding" the boats down the embanckment, guiding it with the wires and unhooking them once in the water.  [X(]  I've seen similar using two 1" pieces of webbing with lead weights sewn in at the half way point to make them sink below the boat.  Either way, it's a lot of weight to hold up.

BTW, have you ever tried working with Sintra?  it's a PVC Foam board and glues very well with CA glue.   It comes in 1, 2, 3 and 6 mm thicknesses and is flexible enough to work with around curves.  I've used it once and like it well enough to use it on some other projects.

I like Mack products.  Pricy but well worth it. Q-tips, why didn't I think of that?  I just used twisted up paper towel.  Learn something new every day.
