RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] wood skids



Brent,

Depending on what type of bedding compound you use some harden and some stay soft.  Have taken items off of a sunken sub that had been down since 1926 and where components were bedded, there was no corrosion between them.  If they were of dissimilar materials, there would be corrosion around the more noble material on the less noble material but no corrosion between the adjoining surfaces.

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.
