: I have only done what you are proposing in a limited area. My
: Guillemot L blew off the top of may car and I had to remove a 12
: sq in chunk of wood and glass, feather the surrounding edges and
: remove some of the surrounding glass. I was using a heat gun to
: remove the patch that was applied. The patch was a bitumen
: coated piece of aluminum that was applied to the hull like a
: bandaid. At one point it got too hot in the surrounding glass
: and it just blistered up. This blister was very easy to remove.
: You might try that in a small area first, it may save you a lot
: of time and aggravation, use a well ventilated area. IMHO
: sanding is an awful job, the less of it the better.

Thanks John

I read your story of when the boat blew off of your car. I used to drive in total fear of that happening to me but now I transport my boats in the back of my truck. They ride in the bed and are therfore protected from the wind sheer. Works great but I better not forget they are there and try to backup. This is a picture of my boat and strong back ready for the road.

I do plan on using a heat gun as I remove the glass, I figure that is the easiest way to remove so much material. Sanding would be a nightmare.
