Hi Gary,

Unfortunately, one of the Queens royal duties while she was here, was to allow me to use that very colour! At the time, I was not aware (and I don't think She was either) that there was another Botany Blue Mossie out there... MI 6 will be looking into this me thinks.

When I finally get my finger from where it appears to be and onto the digicam button, I will post some pics of my oxidised botany blue and once Varnished Mozzie!

I ripped out and got me a TCT blade pull scraper last night($18 @ Bunnings) and does that bad boy get the job done! It is a definate must have for the workshop. [color:"blue"] [/color]

And by the way - my boat was Botany Blue before yours, sail no. 321 - I might call it 'Methuselah'!

Cheers All
