Re: Dry or Waterless Measuring

Hi Emilio, Thank you for taking the time to comment. That is a mean looking paint job on the boat! I appreciate what is being done in your method and there is a set up posted on our wcmya.ca site to achieve the same results although in a slightly different way. However, I think it comes down to the ...

Re: Dry or Waterless Measuring

Yes, a period of exposure would be very good, and I hope that present negotiations will ensure this happening. As noted in my post of 16th March, I hope to have a jig in the UK be...

Re: Dry or Waterless Measuring

Hi Antonio, I found Roy's dry measuring work and postings sometime after the initial jig was constructed and used some of the information Roy presented to modify it to the present version. In fact the present jig has a close resemblance to a bulb and fin setting jig we have here in Western Canada. L...
