LOVES Wooden Canoes
I have read plenty of posts about the difficulties of removing glass and yes I have done it with heat and scrapers so I know the deal.I have been asked to quote on replacing it on a boat built without ribs and like many my initial reaction is run away!
If the glass is not too badly damaged i would err on the side of repair and adding more glass ontop but if the client insists on having it removed or it is worn through to wood in many places would removal and replacement be impossible.
Once the glass is off sanding may improve it but would dark water marks be unbleachable?
I have yet to see the boat and am awaiting pictures but would be interested to see one that someone has done even if they gave up at some point.
Many Thanks
