Default Gel coat removal - water sanding vs. straight line sanding

As far as time required, I removed three complete top coats of paint
(about 75 lbs worth) and primers and fillers. brought up the new
coatings and used polyurethane top coat, 18 meter wings, 4 foot wing
root, big constant taper fuse, about 1100 hours.
B.T.W. prestec products ROCK!
Good luck and best
wishes!

1100 hrs... divide by 20 hours/week = 55 weeks , just over a year of
working in the shop after the full-time job.

YIKES! I'm really, really glad I've got good ol' Scwabbelack
(spelling?) on my Kestrel... original 1972 gelcoat in great shape.
