[Rhodes22-list] portholes part 2

[Chris Geankoplis]

43' steel hull, bronze ports.  Sounds like a nice retirement home?  What are
the plans?

Good point!  I just bedded a dozen bronze ports in a steel hulled 43' ocean
going cutter and used 5200.  When and if i redo the job i will grind it off
with a grinder and wire brush.  Permanance was my plan. :-)  For plastic
hulls 4200 is a better choice.
