nual courses in plotting and
small boat handling which have
proved so popular in the past
that registrants now number in
the hundreds each year.
This year the courses will be
given under the direction of
Cliff Ford, chairman of the
squadron's board of admissions.
Registration will be held We'd
nesday, September 26, at 8 pm,
in the Departmental Auditorium
on Constitution avenue between
Twelfth and Fourteenth streets
NV.
Richard F. Jones, past COM
mander of the squadron and now
the outfits public relations di-
rector, says he expects approx
imately 500 persons to take the
courses this year. He points out
that they have attracted about
that number in recent years and
interest in boating is growing
every season.
The two courses are open to
men and women and to youths
from the age of 16. Students are
expected to furnish their own
text books, and parallel rules.
The classes will run from the
date of registration to the end of
January.

NOTES
ON
BOATS
By BOB JONES

New wood first needs to be
thoroughly primed. By sealing
the pores and grain, paint will
stay on the surface and be more
adhesive. This is particularly
true of fir plywood which raises
when exposed to water. Fast
drying sealers are made spe-
cially for this purpose.
Apply first coat of Sealer, let
it dry, then another coat with
aluminium paste flakes added in
proportions of 11a pounds to /
gallon of Sealer. Goats of paint
are then applied as on other
woods.
AFTER THE PRUNING
COATS, fill holes and seams with
trowel cement. Two kinds are
used: topsides require a highly
elastic seam-compound because
lof extreme temperature varia-
lions; below the water line a
harder, bottom seam compound
is used with special properties
to prevent oozing.
After filling the seams, use the
corner of a putty knife to make
a shallow v all along the seams
to prevent the compound from
raising above the surface when
the wood Swells.
OLD SURFACES: If the paint
is still in good condition scrub
it down with any good household
cleaner. Rinse down afterward
with plenty of fresh water.
Then sand lightly and apply the
finish coat when the surface is
dry and the temperature is be-
tween 65' and 85' F.
If the old paint is in bad shape,
it should be completely removed.
In some cases, paint remover
with the help of a scraper will
do the job. Large areas are US
ually treated with a blow torch,
Another idea is to use an
infra-red bulb in a reflector.
Held about an inch from the
surface it will blister the paint
which is then removed with a
scraper.
GOOD SANDING is important.
Be careful in using power sand
erS, particularly on plywood.
Though more painstaking, hand
sanding with garnet paper is
best. Use grades 1-50 for coarse,
100000 for medium go (22O)
for fine finish. Hard rubber
blocks are better than wood.
Remove particles from paper
with a soft brush to lengthen
its use, Steel wool, though eff
fective, leaves particles aboard
that will rust and is not recon-
mended.
VARNISH is APPLIED differ
emily. On new wood use a wood
filler to give uniform tone. Don't
use a brush that has had paint
in it. When applying the var
nish, work from the dry area to
the wet. Good varnish will flow
on evenly requiring a minimum
OF brushing; working the varnish
with the brush causes bubbles.
Five to six coats are needed on
new wood. Between 8 am. and
4 pm. on a dry, warm day with
the wind northwest is best
Avoid dust and insects if posi-
BILE. Surface should be abso-
lutely dry and protected from
the hot sun.
Il 4 +
FOR SAFETY'S SAKE: Use a
gauze face mask after sanding:
paint and varnish dust is un-
healthy when inhaled; be extra
careful when working on bottom
paints that contain arsenic or
mercury.
Don't leave oily and paint
filled rags where combustion and
sparks can start a fire. Always
dispose of them after use.
