: Hi guys, not wishing to jump on the invite party :-) Im in Belfast
: and have just stripped the glass off the outside of the hull and
: deck as Id glassed in too cold weather :-( It came off very
: easily and didnt need masses of heat to soften the glass for a
: scraper to get in under it. I just had to sand the epoxy off,
: which came away very easily without wood damage or damage to the
: glass inside the boat.
: Id love to call down some time when youre building / glassing to
: observe your technicque esp second /third coats and the effect
: it has. As Im in Belfast its a 4 day camel ride to yours, but as
: its totally beautiful , worth the trip.

: Paul

Fuunily enough paul, thats where im actuly from. I grew up in belfast but have been living in mayo for 10 yrs now. Get on that camel and head west because i could do with another set of hands,lol. As for you taking of the glass, did you use a heat gun at all. Ive got an aul scrap piece of glassed ply , ill take my heat gun to it and will see how it comes off and if its easy enough to do. Ill remove one side of my glass right up to my keel line then redo it .
