My current project, a Chestnut Ranger, was painted dark blue in the interior. I have at least 10 ribs to replace, many linear feet of planking, and both inwales. I have repaired stem tops already.
Most of the interior paint has been stripped, but there is significant paint residue soaked into woodgrain and wear marks on the ribs. In some cases I can sand away the paint if it's primarily on the surface, but sanding the deeper marks would require so much sanding that planking tack clinches would be compromised.
Does anyone have advice for this, or do I just accept the residue as "character", and move on...?
Thanks, Pat
