We have a circa 1905 BN Morris (16') in reasonable shape. After removing the canvas we found the planking in nice shape with some signs of earlier replacement all intact. However the outside of the planks have a sticky dark surface that perhaps was used to have the canvas "stick" to the hull. It smells like pine, could this be Pine Tar? Has anyone every seen pint tar used as a glue? So far the best remover product appears to be turpentine. Is turpentine an OK product to use on this age old beauty?
Is there anything else I could use the leftover turpentine for?
Your thoughts appreciated. Bill
