There has been a lot of confusion on this particular subject over the years and basically I have seen both success and failure with both untreated and treated timbers using epoxy glues over the years. As a marine surveyor I have been asked about this on many occasions and have always answered5.D Well, I really donBt know, I have no evidence one way or the other, so better not!D
Plywoods that are Ahot press manufacturedB do not usually have the same humidity content as solid lumber. This is partly due to the high temperatures used in the manufacturing processes. The high temperatures cause the plywood to assume a lower moisture content than the surrounding relative humidity. Then again, most of these are rarely, if ever, subject to the chemical treatment processes anyway, so probably donBt count in this context.
However, it would appear that due to high turnover of timber in populated city areas, a high demand and high turnover for timber and it would seem that many chain stores like Bunnings here in Australia use a lot of plantation type timbers that are still very wet from the preserving treatment and in my opinion, not dry enough for sale. It does not help matters that the timbers are bundled in plastic and this certainly helps to retain any moisture present already. I tend to avoid these like the plague as epoxy glue will certainly refuse to stick to these timbers as the excess humidity will certainly prevent a decent mechanical bond between wood and glue.
Well, just how dry does timber have to be whether it be treated or untreated?
Well, in a living tree there are huge amounts of water and sap inside that allow to tree to live and grow. Once cut and used as lumber the AgreenB or AwetB timber starts to dry out. As mentioned, commercial pressures and artificial and forced kiln drying does not allow the hollow cellulose tubes that once allowed the sap to flow, to shrink at a proper rate and the moisture content , often far too much, is still retained in the timber when it is put out for sale prematurely.
Most timber will, if stored properly, maintain an equilibrium with the surrounding air humidity so wood stored and kept in humid tropical areas will probably be much wetter than those, say, stored in a drier climate elsewhere.
One American standard in interestingly enough, for kiln dried timber is around 19 % whereas another in a different state is as low as 15%!
Personally I would be loathe to attempt to glue with epoxy at 19 % and marginally at 15%!!
Some timber for furniture and boat building is satisfactory at around 10 to 12% but some very fussy cabinetmakers will demand 7 to 10%!
There are some other types of water based glues available that seem to work on high humidity timbers and there is one British made glue called APolyproofB and is deemed waterproof completely but it appears quite hard to obtain here in Australia and also leaves a red glue line behind. Once again, it is unlikely that it will have the strength of epoxy but may do well in other applications if boatbuilding.
However, once again mindful of stress requirements, there is one glue that positively thrives on the damp. In fact, the glue needs the damp in order to allow it to cure. The glue is Purbond, a single pack expanding polyurethane glue available from Boatcraft Pacific in most major cities.
However, I am unsure if treated timber will work 100 percent with that particular glue 5call them up and see! One other factor is that there are many varying types of timber preservation treatment chemicals and the bonding ability of these differing chemicals may well vary in order allow epoxy based glues to work as intended.
For example, oily type preservatives are harder to bond
Certainly but how would you recognise them? Strong creosote and pentachlorophenol based treatments should be steered well away from as epoxy certainly doesnBt like them at all, especially when combined with moisture.
On the other hand, many of the better quality constructional type adhesives are reputed to be able to withstand fairly moisture laden timbers, up to around 15 to 20%. In fact, surprisingly enough, there are some fairly positive reports about these glues on many boatbuilding forum sites.
Another factor to take into account with treated timbers is the fact that many acidic salts that are present in the chemicals that prevent natural drying out rates to occur. Added to that that many processing plants store the treated wet timbers outside where the noxious fumes are able to disperse to the atmosphere and are subject to weather conditions.
There is of course to be taken into account, the actual direct chemical cocktail reaction that happens when epoxy and its internal constituents are placed into direct contact with chemicals such as arsenic and phenol, for example! There is every reason to expect that the resulting combinations will repel rather than attract!
A couple of tips if you do decide to bond treated timber with epoxy: Do a practise run first with the glue and timber of your choice. Give the joint a hard test time after curing!!!
Sand or lightly plane the surfaces first before gluing5
Always wear protective clothing and dust masks when cutting or sanding treated timber.
ItBs job is to be fairly toxic to insects and humans too can be very affected. Never underestimate the power of these strong chemicals!
Another alternative to treated timber is high quality untreated cypress pine. It is hard, water resistant due to being rather oily and lasts well. Finally, try to use stainless steel screws in treated timber as plain old steel screws tend to melt quite quickly in the chemicals and sap!!
Well. why glue with epoxy on treated timbers at all ?
Yes , a very good question I must admit!5
During the writing of this article I have done a fair bit of investigation and really although I have found some interesting data I havenBt found too much that has endeared me to the processes of using epoxy on treated timbers overall5this is for marine purposes, I might add.
However, there is a wealth of information out there that does suggest that many of the modern glues and more especially, many resorcinol glues can do a pretty effective job when it comes to other applications on dry land 5I think that until thinking outside the square becomes totally illegal, a healthy curiosity still has a place in the world!

Safety While Sailing: Crew Overboard Tips And Equipment
As afternoon fades into evening, scarce clouds hover on the horizon. For a sailor in his Wayfarer, an ominous feeling cannot be shaken. A voice breaks the persistent silence between the rushing of water against the sailboat, CCrew Overboard!D It is not something anyone wants to hear while sailing, but these few simple tips about rescuing crew members is invaluable:
The Quick Stop Method is advantageous when performed correctly, as it is a fast technique. This method also allows for the boat to stay close to the overboard crewmember, therefore making it easier to spot him or her. However this method is disadvantageous since a gybe maneuver must be performed which can be difficult in high winds or especially when the crew is minimal. The Quick Stop Method also cannot be performed if on a run.
The Figure 8 (Quick Turn) Method is advantageous as it can be preformed from any point of sail, and because a gybe is not required. However trading in for these advantages leaves the consequence of being farther away from the overboard crewmember and possibly lose sight of him or her.
Successful retrieval of the crewmember will also depend on the availability of safety equipment such as flotation devices. It will also help if the crewmember is wearing a life jacket. While most regulations require life jackets, ideally the life jacket should have the boatBs name, and be fitted with reflective material and a whistle. Preferably, the whistle should be one that does not have balls in them, since when filled with water, they are significantly harder to blow. The life jacket should also contain a flare so that in the event of poor visibility, the overboard crewmember could light it to signal his or her location in the water.
Of course in the occurrence of a serious problem with the boat itself, it is essential to have a liferaft. The liferaft should be stowed in a location that allows its retrieval in 15 seconds or less. If the liferaft is heavy, greater than 90 pounds in weight, it should not be stowed below deck. Make sure to verify that the liferaft is kept up to date and inflated every so often so that in a critical moment, it operates as expected. It also is wise to keep a ditch bag, which contains emergency meal rations and water, in an easily accessible location.
Sailing can be dangerous, but only if proper safety rules are not followed. As long as the crew remains calm and vigilant, there is no foreseeable reason that the crew cannot have a great day out on the water.

Tips On Making Your Boating More Fun
Most of us boat owners tend to be particular about our ladies and often fret when they do not go as planned. We take great pride when things are ship shape too.
1.Do you ever have problems with mud wasps or as we call them in the South, Dirt Dobbers? I have water, fuel and air vents at various points on the boat where those little pests like to build mud nests. A plugged vent will create havoc when filling boat tanks. A rolled up 2x3 inch section of coarse air conditioning filter material found at your local hardware store inserted into the vent opening from the outside does the trick allowing the vent to breathe and keeping the critters out.
2.What did you last pay for a bottle of isinglass cleaner; about $15.00? A much cheaper alternative that works even better and consists of a teaspoon of JohnsonBs Baby Shampoo and m gallon of distilled water. Use a wool mitt to clean the glass and dry with a leather chamois cloth or soft towel.
3.DonBt spend big bucks on boat shampoo for washing your boat, use automobile soap available at almost any retailer. It works just as good at a fraction of the price and will not harm the surfaces.
4.After washing your boat, do you have window water spots? Use household vinegar to rinse the windows and the water spots disappear.
5.Eliminate clutter in the shower from shampoo, conditioner bottles and soap by mounting a bulk liquid dispenser on the shower wall. You can get one at a reasonable price at any bath products store.
6.Use your favorite body wash with the dispenser above instead of bar soap. Bar soap leaves a significant soapy residue on grates and shower walls and will foul sump pumps requiring frequent cleaning.
7.To further keep your shower sump clean and the pump working as designed, mix about 1 teaspoon of Dawn dishwashing liquid with shower water and let it go down the shower drain. Dawn is an excellent degreaser. I use this about once a week to break up any body oils that are present.
8.Proper storage of sharp knives is important for both safety and maintaining the knifeBs cutting edge. I use a magnetic knife rack mounted on a bulkhead above the cook top to keep the knives within easy reach, free up additional drawers and prevent unwanted cuts.
9.Trash disposal is a constant problem on a cruising boat, but a little planning can eliminate much of the packaging that creates the problem. Buy a variety of plastic, reusable containers in a variety of sizes. After buying chips, pasta, cereals, cookies and other dry goods, transfer the foods to the containers and dispose of the packaging on the docks before casting off. Use reusable containers for frozen foods as well.
10.Maintaining communication while underway is now easier than ever. I use a Verizon air card with my laptop to achieve broadband service 24/7. It works anywhere a cell signal is available in the USA.

Finding Boat Online
A nice hot day in summer with the sea spray hitting your face and a fast boat in which you are in is sure adventure. It is an absolutely wonderful experience and for that you have to go boat hunting. If you are looking to find boat for sale look on the internet. You would get all the necessary information available online and you can get the best out of them to go for boat sales.
Boats like Viking, Hatteras and Bertram can get a higher bidding. The boats that are not very popular have a low bidding and if you are lucky you can buy a cheap boat there.
Now, if you have owned boats for a long time you would know that owning boats is quite an expensive thing. You have to note down the cost of the initial purchase and also consider all the financial aspects. If you are to drain all the financial resources for the sake of owning a boat, it becomes a hazard. So consideration of all these factors is utterly important.
While you are looking for boat sales, you should also consider the depreciation value. If it is a brand new boat and you are going for buying it first time, then you should not go in for a very large vessel at the least cost. Boats get corroded very fast because of the constant erosion of water beneath the vessel. Do not go in for the fancy paintings on the boat which would get washed off easily. You have to look at the body closely and see if they are already getting corroded.
Look at the rails, whether they are distorted or loose. There could be cracks in the hull or on the deck. If there is a leak that indicates, it is made of poor quality. The insides and window frames are to be checked so that they are not weakly structured. Considering all these, and learning a lot on boats you can venture to buy boats and look out for the boat sales. You would get any boat for sale but consider the above mentioned points to get to the right vehicle. That would make owning a boat a pleasure for you.

Buying Commercial Boats
If you are looking to buy commercial boats, you need to do a research first. A research is almost always necessary for any product you buy. Finding the perfect commercial boat is a serious assignment and you need to carefully consider a plethora of things. You can obviously choose the wrong boat and that can cost an arm and a leg in the long run. You have to decide for you how you are to use the boat you buy. It could be used on protected waters or on waters offshore. There are certain factors to consider when we consider buying a boat. The comfort, the speed and the shallow draft is very necessary to take into consideration. There are other options to consider to, some electronic options, twin engines, the gas or diesel engines and other safety measures that should be considered while buying a boat.
You also have to have the boat inspected by a surveyor. That is a very important point in buying commercial boats. The condition of the trailer and the motor has to be considered while you go for a second hand boat. There are dealers who rebuild those motors and these motors are also traded by the users.
When you shop for a boat online it is an easier process. You can also reach the customer service of that website and ask for some important information. There are chat facilities that give a quick answer to your queries. The prices of the boats can be compared and you can also find boats through the various manufacturers. When you buy a boat on a local store you can see the boat but on the internet you can also get a good picture of the boat you are out to buy. Sometimes there are videos available too and you can get a clear picture of everything. You can know is length and also the pricing.
You can also go through the various customer lists which they sometimes provide and learn a lot from the references. You can buy online through a secure payment system that ensures the use of your credit card online is one hundred per cent safe. Go through the latest listings of the boats online and choose one. You can actually buy your dream boat today. So when you are thinking of buying commercial boats online always consider visiting websites first as they are always filled with lots of lots of valuable information which you have to consider while buying a boat.
Considering all pros and cons buying commercial boats gets to be an easier task online. If you know the manufacturers and go by the drop down listings, you will find a good list of them online from which you can choose.

How To Choose A Travel Boat Cover
Not all boat covers are alike. You may think that a storage cover could pass as a travel cover, but the truth is that covers designed solely for storage may not hold up to the wear and tear of highway travel. The three main features that set trailerable marine covers apart from the pack are material thickness, tie down straps, and a secure fit.
One of the first features to consider when you're looking for a trailerable boat cover is material thickness. The wind whipping at your cover can rip it if the material is too thin. Some manufacturers will tell you that their 150 denier polyester is rugged and durable enough to use as a travel cover. This material thickness may work for storage, but trailerable covers require a thicker polyester.
A 300 denier polyester is a much more durable thickness. It is strong enough to hold up under harsh conditions but breathable enough to prevent moisture damage to your boat. You may be able to save money up front with a 150 denier cover, but 300 denier will serve you better in the long run and will outlast thinner material.
Tie Down Straps
The tie down system varies for each boat cover. Take a close look at the efficiency and protection of your tie down straps. Do they go over the top of the boat, or do they hook into eyelets or loops? Do the straps stretch? Will any metal or buckle parts come in contact with your boat?
Tie downs that wrap over the top of your boat provide secure protection without the risk of a ripped eyelet or hook. If you choose a marine cover with eyelets, make sure they are reinforced, and make sure that no metal parts come in contact with your boat. The eyelet and straps can rub against your boat and scratch it if you're not careful.
The tie downs should have very little give. A stretchy rope or bungee cord won't hold your cover on tight enough to secure the cover. If your straps have metal buckles, make sure that the metal does not scratch your boat's finish. Use at least four full tie downs to secure your boat cover, and secure any loose ends that can flap wildly in the wind or get caught in tires or moving parts.
Secure Fit
As you fly down the highway, you want your cover to stay in place. An elastic hem or adjustable elastic cord will ensure that your cover provides complete protection on the road. Measure your boat to get the closest fit possible.
For most universal boat covers, you should measure your boat from bow to stern but NOT over the windshield. For beam width, measure from side to side at the widest part of the boat. Buy the cover that most closely matches the dimensions of your boat. With the elastic or adjustable hem, you can get a custom fit with a universal cover.

Affordable Boat Covers Offer Cheap Long-term Protection
Affordable boat covers are crucial to boat-owners as they aid to protect a respected investment versus a couple of elements that can damage and devalue an owner's boat.
Boat covers are extraordinarily efficient, theyBre one of the most proficient investments for your boat on the market place to keep things out of the places of your boat that you don't want them. Boats are often times destroyed because water or ice or other parts of nature get inside boats and ruin them from within. In fact, itBs as simple as purchasing a boat cover. Notwithstanding, the cure to this swell problem concerning boat-care and maintenance is surprisingly simple. When driving at that of a speed, itBs easy for the boat's interior to be damaged.
There are likewise a heap of things that could wind up inside the boat that could damage or soil it. Boats are very pricey commodities, a heap of being worth extra than a heap of houses. With increasingly companies merchandising boat covers online, itBs growingly easy and affordable to find a boat cover for your needs. To lose a boat to damage due to a do not have of care would be a tragic thing indeed. And without the ability to insure a boat, thereBs genuinely no way to safely use it.
Boat covers are the premiere and most efficient way to protect your investment. Bird-droppings, bugs, animals; all of these things could get into the boat without it being covered. Many companies have databases that grant you to input your boat's info, and then show you the boat covers that are best suited to protecting your boat. Whether the consequence is rust damage or denting or anything in the damage field, boats can be ruined by just one winter night unprotected during the off-season for sailors. This not only allows you to see the cover in its entirety, but it likewise lets the buyer see what theyBre buying as it looks on the boat before consecrating to buy it.
Likewise, boat covers are extremely affordable for whatever boat-owner. Boat covers are a crucial portion of boat care. Although, said as it might just be to lose or danger damage to one's boat because if you do not have an adequate care, this still happens. When driving on the freeway or the interstate, itBs likewise a good idea to have a cover on a boat.
