It therefore works like double glazing ... but I doubt if it is heavy enough for me to walk on. That said, I am sure that now I know what the cause is, I can try to find some way to solve the problem if it occurs again.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />Bob<br /><br />PS. Thanks for the comment about the merchant ships. The first coat of paint I have applied to them is currently drying, and I hope to add a picture of them to the blog when they are finished.Robert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-27996621627383039572012-02-11T16:09:47.847+00:002012-02-11T16:09:47.847+00:00Bob

I'm up on the ladder a couple of times every year doing the same thing. When there's a lot of snow (not this year) I clear it off the roof with a roof rake. Just the make sure the neighbours think that I'm nuts, I put snowshoes on when raking the roof.<br /><br />Love the merchantmen by the way!<br /><br />PDPeter Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118894381672707297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-12182244546092466032012-02-11T16:01:25.783+00:002012-02-11T16:01:25.783+00:00David Crook,

It seems to give a very nice and usable curve - I presume you can vary the degree of curve to an extent. This would be useful for smaller vessels. Either way though I am looking forward to seeing the end result!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DC<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.com
