2026 Jamboree Splitty 

Sunday Brian Grimaldi volunteered to pick up working on the windows where David left off. There are about 50 miles of tiny channels that hold the many pieces of sealing rubber in place. On these windows they are all rusted and corroded and filled with years of dirt and grime. I thought that they MAYBE could be cleaned out with a dremmel and some of the very small attachments that might be able to get into those channels. Bill and I had looked at them on Saturday and weren’t sure if they could be cleaned out with anything short of very fine media blasting. But we had to give it a go with the dremmel first. Brian spent some hours trying every attachment in his and mine dremmel kits. Some work a little but most hardly worked at all. The channels are just too narrow. Very frustrating for Brian. He worked really, really hard on this but we had to finally make an executive decision, appropriate for Brian of course, to go the media blasting route. But thank you Brian for all your effort!
I spoke to Bill about media blasting and we are developing a plan that just might work. Stay tuned…..
