Re: [HSS] Top ?
Itr can be straightnened out, but takes much time, skill and patience. What
I did with my '29 was use a plain "J" channel, and nailed it in place, then
covered it over with a half-round aluminium bead, using a neutral cure
silicone as a sealer in between. I countersunk the nails into the
half-round, and filled over the nail heads with epoxy, then sanded and
painted. Looks almost like the original. I used copper boat nails, so they
shouldn't corrode or fall out . Now Lew will probably tell me there will be
a fatal galvanic action! Good luck,
Geoff.
