i am doing a science project and i need an alumunum boat and i need like steps to build itANY!?
get a brillo pad some warm soapy water and scrub it as long as it's latex it should come right off with a little scrubbing.good luck
Goof Off (product name) and a soft cloth Put it on the cloth so you can control where it goes and not damage any other areas.
Enlist the help of another person have them hold a trap or wood any thing against the outside of the screen and with soap and water,brush and elbow grease wash the paint off of the screens.
I just spent 30 minutes on my answer and Yahoo kicked itANYWAY I'll recreate as much of my original thought as I can Good Q BTW, and some validity in others answers Think RULES and that it has to FLOATCertainly FOIL can work, and you could name it the USS Reynolds,,,smiles BTW I offer thisYou can share with your teacher that CONCRETE boats float, and as a Hull substance is valid Ok long story shortNot knowing the guidelines you have other than substance, think of this as a REAL boat, and in that context the HULL, especially dependant on the water line, supports the rest of the entire weight and BALANCES ITI'll explain BALLAST in a moment I suspect that aesthetics aren't a critical issueGo to your local market and pick up a few aluminum Meat Loaf baking pansYeah I know they aren't gonna look like the QE 2, but indulge me In the exact center or as close as you can get to it, scribe a line, a crease, hopefully to extend the bottome of the hull lower than where the botton meets the side wallsOh whlie you're at the market, pick up a box/package of modeling clayColor is your choice,,,smilesINTO that crease, after rolling a clay worm apply the worm to the crease, and put the hull into a sink or bath tub to gauge the balance If in fact you need a deck and/or cabin, mast, etc, DO NOT secure them permanently yetRemember balance You probably could add a KEEL, but don't stress that yetThe idea however IN balance is to give your boat an EVEN KEEL effect so that whatever you add will not tip it or sink itThe structure of a plain Meat Loaf pan will float anywayThe ballast/Worm, helps keep your total weight centered I'd be curious to know your progress and results if you don't mindas well as your Grade :) Steven Wolf
