Got a LOT of the several coats of paint off

But as you can see there's more to go, but I figure the more I can get off this way, the less I gotta strip, sand or dynamite off...I think some of these coats of paint were applied w/some moisture still on the hull...these little pea-sized pock marks kept poppin' up and I believe them to be water droplets that were caught in a coat of paint...

Here's the transom w/some of the pock-marks...ran the sander over them and they got smooth before getting to glass...

Well the last two pics got mixed up...pilot error...but you get the idea...

reel, what tip nozzle are you using? i had good results with a 0 tip wobble nozzle. it has the power of 0 degrees but moves at a random pattern so it won't eat the gelcoat.

good luck

how old was that paint? I mean, is that a fossil in the last pic?

Don't worry, it is very safe to get that old paint all over you, in your eyes and in your mouth. No need to even clean up afterwards...

looking good!

Nasty for sure...got one more session w/the power washer (other things gettin' in the way right now), but it oughtta move along after that...met Spare in West Marine in Mt Pleasant the other day and he pointed out what I need to recore the fuel tank hatch, so we'll see how my 1st F'glass job goes...but that's down the road a bit...

I'll be down to see ya soon...not this Friday, but how 'bout next Fri the 12th?:head:

Yeah...RKC's avatar is a classic shot...wish I had a MURAL on the wall of that...the wife would FREAK...oh well...

glad to see there's still an agenda, disregard my other recent post. I am sure there will be many f' bombs dropped during the glassing process. Something I have never done either but I want too.
