Continuing where I had left things on Friday evening, I spent the fleeting minutes leading into what would become a wet weekend by removing the worst of the water and sun damage at the most forward part of the toerail. There were clear signs of water damage within this area marked for repair, and I worked to remove material until I reached unmarred material. The cracking seen in the lower portion of the picture will be filled with Interlux paste stain wood filler, sealed, and then varnished to match the balance of Rhino's toe and handrails. The work day was cut short due to inclement weather settling in - see raindrops on the rail.
Another view of this bow section. Again, the remaining checking will be filled in order to seal off and prepare for varnishing.
This 4" silicon-bronze screw shows clear signs of corrosion as a result of water ingress - this damage was brought on by the loss of the protective varnish.
