"No. 9 and Acetone" medication for removal of Awlgrip pain has only dulled it but not 'cured' it! Two part paint seem tougher than...Seriously, the pain comes from partly using a gentle heat to soften the hard top coats which in places peels off beautifully with minimum heat and in other places is stuck to the wood as it was part of it! The end result is a hull resembling a spotty dog! These hard spots of paint need sanding/stripping down and using a random orbital sander has become that much more difficult and time consuming with soft wood all around, not to mention the soft wood delicate cove line where the paint has become part of the wood! Boy,do I look forward to tackle the chine and spray rails!? With hindsight, I think I should have stuck with sanding, atleast the surface would have had a uniform resistance to the random orbital sander. (Tomorrow, I will meet up with a local Awlgrip 'specialist' to see what if any chemical stripping can be used for the finer details. I live in hope!
)Ben, I haven't investigated the 'Farrow' system or other ways of removing paint but next time, I certainly will, especially if Awlgrip is involved.
Thanks again to you all for your support and to the forum for keeping me saneish.
