So, can we assume that the R/B ratio of one bottle of rum to one box of Band-Aids can be used as a measure of performance? Try three bottles of rum and report back with the results. If you end up needing a tourniquet, please let us know.
Mark, the ratio is consistent with the measure of pain! I liken this ordeal to a couple of other projects that I have tackled in the past, I basically said to myself ,"What the hell did I do this for". The tourniquet suggestion is a great idea, not sure that it would stop the flow, but certainly would prolong the suffering.
On to the next step in this ordeal, will be building back up with filler and primer and on to the final coat or two or three of acrylic urethane then sanding down to 3000 grit and buffing, I might need more rum.

If a low number grit does not easily take off the hard finish use a finer grit until it cuts easily then move to a 80 or 65 grit. An electric grinder with adjustable speed is what I have used. In my opinion an orbital is not needed. Use no pressure on the sander let the paper cut.

Rum? Can`t stand it. It`s like drinking liquid rubber. Why not try a good
Scottish single malt whisky. Your working progress will benefit.

Thanks for the suggestion Colin, I could never forgive myself for drinking Scottish Whiskey, I would be contributing to the Kennedy dynasty and for that I could never forgive myself. Rum is much better, we call it the juice of the Caribbean gods, many a pirate sailed these blue waters while indulging it that fine roasted sugar cane fermented nectar. I will keep your suggestion in mind just in case the rum gets too depleted. Bob

I think he meant, use the Scotch to strip the gelcoat. That might work...

Scotch is a bit smooth for that: use Hokonui, a bootleg spirit that used
to be (and maybe still is) brewed and distilled in the deep south of the
South Island, NZ. Rough as guts, traditionally sold in brown glass beer
bottles with a label showing an atomic mushroom cloud. It'll strip
anything, not just stomach linings.

Do the Kennedy Clan still have dibs on that post-Prohibition money-
spinner? Enquiring minds want to know.

Martin, I do believe that the Kennedy clan still gets royalties on every bottle of Scotch whiskey imported to this country. Just recently a Kennedy was finally defeated for political office in Mass, what took those people so long. Maybe that Kennedy could come on down and help sand gelcoat now that he is out of work.
