Is there a restoration service in Norfolk / Suffolk ?

Post by Jiggler14 »

Hi there - Does anyone know of anyone who can sand-blast / re-paint a 4 Seater Continental back to original colours ??????

PS: Anyone got a usable "Jelly-Mould" Navigation light for sale ?????

I'm not sure I'd want to sand blast an Aluminium boat, it could go a lot of funny shapes if your not carefull.

Hi Stephen, they typically chemical strip these boats or blast with soft media, sand blasting is just too invasive. There are other ways, so stick around and check your post, as the local experts will help out.

Jelly mould bow lamps are very very difficult to get hold of, is worthwhile hunting on ebay US for the Nautalloy style or Aqua Marine.
