[Rhodes22-list] Stuck board up but now the fun begins!

[Lou Rosenberg]

  Todd,
  I do have the West System User Manual and will pick up the Boat Repair 
and Maintenance info- its only $3. definitely worth it.
  Don Casey covers some of that material in Hull and Deck Repair which I 
have been using.
I always use my mask when cutting any wood and this might be treated 
wood so its a must.  Dont have a sawsall but know where to rent one if 
needed.
  thanks
Lou
