[Rhodes22-list] Bruce's Rotten Bottom

[Bud Connor]

Bruce,
  I don't know if the cockpit table stand holes are threaded (if not you 
could try to give it threads with a tap and dye).
If it is threaded, you could try to lightly screw in some bolts with 
chains, and attach to a come-along.  Next you
could try to gently lift up the base with the come-along, enough to get 
some solvent underneath it.

I assume if I can't make any progress I can simply put some sort of schmutz into the bottom to seal it off from the foam (which has already taken a bit of a beating from a couple of years of neglect) and reseal the lip - as best I can - and move on. I really dont want to end up breaking apart the floor.
