I just bought myself a 13 footer project, why put myself through the long hours of work, because I need the practice....LOL. I like riding in something I built myself. I have built Hot Rods since I was 15, so now at the age of 41, here I go on another quest, Build a Whaler. I have seen some post on here before, but can't seem to find them. What is the best stripper to use on the hull, and someone share the easiest way to apply, and make it work for me. I picked this hull up for a song and dance I thought...$300.00, I had to have something to start with. Someone has raised the transom up, but I am going to remove the build up to make it the way it was in 69. Any help would be appreciated.....Thanks
You can use peel away or citristrip. I like the citristrip simply better for the environment and easier on you. It is slower to work so if you want this done fast, go peel away. Once you get the majority off you need to decide if you want to restore to showroom or repaint. If you plan to go all the way and restore, I suggest purchasing wet/dry sandpaper in a variety of grits from some of the online vendors, much cheaper than by the pack at either the marine store or auto parts store..
I stripped my 13 footer with fiberglass paint stripper I bought at Finishmaster. they are a Automotive paint and body supply house. This is what all the corvette people use. It did a great job of removing epoxy paint on my boat.
