Well, to paraphrase a quote from Bond-O: Yah know, any grease is better then no grease :)

Slap any ole grease ya got on there for now... 'cept my favorite: Bacon grease. Not good for shoulders or elbows :facepalm:

No pic...though I could put on up..took it last night..a big branch broke from the weight...

Weight, what weight, you on it? Geez...
Hope the branch didn't come anywhere near anything important...?
You know they call those "widow makers"...

Proof (of sanding) for the nay sayers...I have been going slow and steady with the hand blocking with 80 grit paper. last pic gives you an idea of how far down I go...so far very few spots I have went through...mostly on corners..will be esy enough to fix..

Try not to spend your whole weekend sanding Troop! Kick back and throw something on the grill .. Maybe some good sanding tunes will help cut a few hours down .. :)

Oh come on man. I know the only reason you put music on your video is to the cussing each time you push that sand paper. LOL. Ain't boating fun? I've been working on mine this weekend too....
