How to maintain a sightseeing&

In the past, people did not pay attention to boats, so not many people knew about them. Later, the use of boats became increasingly widespread, so people also became aware of boats. Although wooden sightseeing boats are very beautiful, measures to prevent water leakage are very important as the captain of the sightseeing boat is immersed in water during the tour. This maintenance is particularly important. Even steel giant ships sailing in the ocean require maintenance, let alone wooden ships? Next, we will introduce how to maintain a sightseeing boat.

In order to protect the sightseeing boat, it is necessary to isolate wood from water. In traditional processes, water is separated through oil layers. The tung oil extracted from tung oil seeds is called tung oil, and after further refining, it is called white oil, also known as small clear oil. Tung oil has good water resistance. Tung oil should be applied to the outer side of the ship, the parts in contact with water, and the outer side of the upper part of the ship. Flushing boards, doors, and windows are usually coated with white oil.

The sightseeing boat is maintained at least once a year. After a period of time, as long as the weather is good, the boat will be pulled up and the 'old hole' will be scraped off with a scraper. Leaks or cracks will first be cleaned up, and then repaired and embedded with putty mixed with hemp, tung oil, and gypsum. Due to surface weathering, doors and windows do not need to be completely scraped off. The main reason is "scraping". When applying tung oil, do not apply too much at once, as it may peel off. If you apply it again, the tung oil will not be absorbed. Only when tung oil is absorbed and the surface is dry can another layer be applied. Coatings are usually based on experience. The tung oil in wood is saturated, and the fibers are filled with tung oil.

After our introduction, we believe you should know how to maintain the sightseeing boat. Later, you can refer to the methods in the article for maintenance. The result is very good.
