: Hi Tommy
: I used a hot air gun and gently heated a small spot until I was
: able to get a scraper under it then worked out from the starting
: point. It was easy enough, if in doubt go slowly at it and dont
: force the scraping, it will just dig into the wood. wait until
: the heat does its job and soften the glass. DONT heat one point,
: keep the heat moving in the local area.
: I get the feel that a northern contingent of strip builders will be
: landing in Sneem soon.lol

: Id be happy to pop down to see how youre getting on and if I can
: help I'd be more than happy to do so. Its always easier to make
: mistakes on some elses boat than your own lol (only joking)

LOL, You may start feeding that camel because its some jant down here but not as far as kerry.

Im in 2 minds to take the heat gun to it because i wouldnt want to mess it up. Its either the heat gun or just epoxy and graphite powder over the football piece of the hull and that should cover it.

What part of belfast is it your from paul.

Heres a picture below of a small patch i covered with epoxy just to show yous how its looking now
