In Response To: Strip: wax (Jon Denney)

: I am at the point in my Guillemot expedition to cut the hatches into the
: deck. In Nicks book it says to wax the hatch cover to prevent the
: fiberglass lip from sticking to it. I am curious if there is a special wax
: required. Please help !?!

He does provide a few options in the book. Including butcher's wax. I could not find any here in Calgary, and ended up using packing tape. (I do not recommend packing tape!, although it worked)

A previous post not to long ago, in the last few days, mentioned a internet source for butchers wax.

good luck
