RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] wood skids




Jay, is that red lead material used so thick that you attach the lead plates when it is still soft, so as the remove any gaps between them? Would that basically glue them together?

To solve the issue and still use George’s design, a bedding compound such as red lead (or other material) is slopped on between the steel and lead.  The bedding compound fills voids and imperfections, sealing out both water and oxygen so no corrosion can take place.
