[Rhodes22-list] Paint questions

[daniel snyder]

Elle, unfortunately I threw my magazine out and my memory isn't good enough 
to recall exactly what they had to say about the three products tested.  I 
do remember that the Woody Wax seemed like the hands down winner.  I'm glad 
to be finished scrubbing Lady Grace.  We don't have the big bird problem 
here but I couldn't believe the black streaks that seem to seep out every 
porthole and snap.  And they are hard to get off!

So, how's that red boat coming along?  Wish I had your extended sailing 
season.  Here in NH we're focused on getting our snowblowers serviced!  Dan
