Re: Good Mastic for clinker seams
Mastic?! No! The correct way to sort the problem is to use a 'dolly', (a lump hammer head is suitable), a rove driver, ( a short length of round bar with a suitable sized hole bored in one end), and a ball pein hammer;and them a fair amount of time spent tightening up the roves, properly.

When rebuilt, only the very best materials were used; the whole boat was dismantled, cleaned, dried, reassembled, repainted and revarnished using Epiphanes Polyureth...
