Looking?

How’s Your Boat Looking?

Boat painting, that perennial but necessary chore for those who depend on the sea for their livelihood or who merely get a kick out of “mucking about in boats”, can be made less irksome by a study of the new Inter national Boat Painter’s Manual just issued.

Its quick-reference chart, to gether with specifications detail ing the correct paints and prior preparations for all types of surfaces (wood, ply, fibreglass, steel, canvas, etc.) supplies the answer for all above and below the waterline varnishing and painting.

Even your wife could do the job for you with this hint-packed manual in her paint-stained hands.
