Reconditioning a Pichney Darter - to fish
I've got a Pichney darter in fished but good condition I want to recondition to fish. My main concern is that the sealer has dried out and won't keep the water out, resulting in the plug splitting.
Thinking I would:
Pull the wire, pull the hardware, heat gun the paint off, redrill the through hole and belly holes to clean away dirt/salt etc., hand sand with 120, soak in Helmsman/thinner mixture for an hour, and then repaint and clear coat, and re-rig.
Any suggestions?
