Saintly Fish Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 After a decent bow thruster repair by a top bloke who takes pride in his work and reputation, I discover that the guy who did my polishing and deck caulk work is a nob head. Take a look at this photo. All the old caulk underneath was supposed to have been dug out and then replaced. Instead he’s just wiped new over the top of old. He didn’t even mask it up!! Good job I haven’t paid him yet and good job I noticed before he did my teak work. Needless to say, he’s been fucked off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he’s not even getting paid for the polishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at a glance yes, but according to the guy who did the bow thruster repair, no. He showed me round and pointed out areas where there are small scratches I’d not noticed. And he wasn’t impressed that the deeper historic scratches on the hull were not more disguised. He reckons he used the wrong polish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he took me 5 boats down to a blue hull he’d polished a week ago and it was like brand new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You was well happy before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly the cloudiness has gone, but even that was because I moaned at him for not doing it properly first time round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
