I got my grind on today. I caught a break in the rain after supper and I was able to grind away the fiberglass holding the back of the cap onto the hull. I forgot how good a grinding disc works on fiberglass. I say probably 2 hrs of work.









The tyveck suit and gloves and respirator made the job bearable.

Something like this:
