Hello,
I've started the process of restoring an old stripper. Actually, I have no idea how old it is, as there's no ID on the boat, but anyhow.
I've used a heat gun to remove the old fibreglass, but there are still sections of epoxy left behind. I don't want to sand because I know the surrounding wood will get taken down much faster. I don't want to use solvents as that seems like a bad idea in a lot of ways. Am I safe continuing to use the heat gun and scraper, so long as I don't get the wood too hot? Insight would be appreciated. I've got a gallery going on the project on Flickr... You can see it here.
Thanks in advance!
