Ramin not a Japanese noodle
 |
| Japanese sesame ramen. Yum... recipe here. |
Im talking about Ramin with an "i", which is a tropical hardwood, and which Im using in place of Mahogany, which is totally unavailable in this part of the world.
I made the mistake of doing some research on Ramin and found this reference on Woodbin.com, which said that its subject to rot.
Oh dear.
I was sitting at the Yacht Club this arvo, while Jing was out on the water again in the Spring Series, on Dexter (an A40) and feeling a bit glum about this. After all, I didnt have much choice, wood being like hens teeth here in Hong Kong.
Then I found another reference in the Chesapeake Light Craft which said:
"Dont worry much about rot; thoroughly epoxy-coated boats are largely exempt from that terror."
Oh goody! Cause thats exactly what I thought Id do: epoxy the mother to an inch of its life.....
