[QUOTE="CBGale2, post: 84926, member: 1437"] Well Im still taking paint off ](*,) , should have it ready by first ice. :roll: I hate doing this part of the project, I want to be cutting wood, laying carpet and mounting seats. Ive got a question, can I do much damage to the aluminum with my wire wheel on my drill? And no, Im not trying to burn a hole through it. Im keeping it on the move constantly, but I swear the dust looks a little shinny. Im taking it down to the bare metal because there are atleast two layers of paint on the boat, the bottom layer is not in good shape so painting over it wont last very long. I think on the top half of the boat Im going to try and strip the paint off, I thought of doing the whole boat that way but I see in the seams an old caulk of some type, I didnt want to eat that away with the stripper. Im hoping to be painting on Saturday, supposed to be nice and warm.... 65 deg. Its a Michigan heat wave. \:D/ [/QUOTE]
