OK, I've been reading the posts on fiberglass removal. My second OT Guide has been more difficult to relieve of it's fiberglass than the first, but now I have successfully stripped off the cloth and some of the resin without significant damage to the wood.
My question has to do with the resin that remains on the wood. It is a thin coat, in some places intact and expansive, but on the bottom it is more patchy. There's a "nice" cloth weave pattern in it. I have experimented with the heat gun and putty knife and think now that I should have used that while the fabric was still on. What are the pros and cons of simply canvasing over that coat of resin, versus painstaking hours of heating and scraping with the putty knife?
Thanks for any advice you care to offer.
