That was interesting... good for you! I found it necessary to steam my ash strips in making stem/stern pieces for my boats, and for the lips on my Schade-style coamings. It might be noted that, as a bachelor, I have never owned much in the way of house cleaning equipment. I used a wet wash rag and electric iron on my victims, which certainly did the trick.

What I'm wondering now is whether it is legal to put a Nick Schade coaming on a CLC Mill Creek? Hope so, for it certainly looks grand.

Cheers,
Kurt Maurer
