I had some horrible versions of that in a Westerly 22 which had been simply glued on to the inside of the fibreglass bulkhead. I have some cupboards in my house with painted plywood doors which have had rectangles of beading stuck on to resemble panelled doors. My comment would be that it might at first glance fool the eye of others, but you will never be fooled and you will come to hate it. Large plain flat areas of painted wood will make the small space look bigger, while fussy details will tend to shrink it. Go with plain painted for a while, you can always change it later.<br /><br />Ianmomisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13241178158115432815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-832202149661971167.post-3218171394901314532013-02-04T09:09:14.274+00:002013-02-04T09:09:14.274+00:00Well done David !!

Me myself I much rather prefer stained wood than painted wood but I'm not really there to see exactly what it looks like and understand the problem quite like you. At any rate, thanks for sharing your nice blog post with me! :-)<br /><br />~Albie<br />http://sailingwithalbie.blogspot.com<br /><br />Albiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17293333120080631723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-832202149661971167.post-57195060601551845322013-02-03T16:19:59.700+00:002013-02-03T16:19:59.700+00:00Hope you saved a bit of the runners to use as a te...Hope you saved a bit of the runners to use as a template for new ones. If so, can you update your post with a photo showing it's cross section? It should be easy to fashion new ones with some simple hand tools that should be readily available in France.The Unlikely Boatbuilderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00220444040859630948noreply@blogger.com
