Blackening in lockdown

[Bob12348]

Hi my boat urgently needs a blackening im just wondering if I can cruise to get the boat blackened? With lockdown

Unless you can find a heated dry dock you don't want to be blacking before May.

 

If you do it now, you'll be doing it again in a months time as it falls off.

 

It is too cold and the temperature at dew point stops the blacking 'attaching' and curing properly

Blacking is essential maintenance, so is permitted.

Aylesbury Canal Society have a heated covered slipway so you could get your boat done there, whatever the weather.

Interesting, does that only apply to boats?

Yes you can’t do it to faces anymore, it’s frowned upon.
