I have been working on the horizontal stab and the two elevators for the past two weeks. I have never seen such difficult gel coat to remove. I am no rookie at gel coat, have done many boats and a bit of glider repair, but this is a beast to remove. It took me six full days to remove the gel coat from the stab. Just today I did one elevator and will do the other tomorrow.
I am bringing it back up with acrylic urethane, so far so good, just a lot of work and a few drinks of rum. Bob
After countless hours of removing gel coat and filling , priming, sanding, sanding, sanding and then painting only to sand down, repaint and sand to 3000, I have finished! The scotch did not budge the gel coat, my fingers need rest, and my spray gun is finally clean again. I spent the last day buffing and doing a bit of sanding and buffing again. Now comes the fun part, putting it back together so my wife can have her ASW24 back.
