  • Wave 2 Mast Repair

    When I opened my ships yesterday only one had the dreaded Formast rot.
    Here it is.





    Here also is my five minute repair method using paper clip and Super Glue.

    Take a needle file and file the mast flat and square.


    Using a fine No.78 drill or similar and Pin vice make a pilot hole in the center of the mast.



    Repeat for the stub in the deck.

    Then open both holes up to drill size 66.




    Super glue in a paper clip to the mast section.




    Trim to length.




    Add glue and slip into the Deck stub ensuring squareness in all planes.





    Job done.

    Rob.

    The best solution, I presume.
