Maco for a small fee I could oversee the project

All kidding aside I was too impatient to go the route of the stripper, temps have to be around 65 and the crap is messy!! I have used it on the sides and back I would rate the stripper a 5 out of 10. I used a DA and 80 grit paper, most likely whoever prepped the boat for paint used 80 grit so just take it down too the gel, I have one side of my boat that could have been restored back to it's original luster but on the other side some jack@ss used a grinder and 40 grit so I have a 2 part epoxy paint matched to my gel coat that last 10 years I will be putting on. You should have chimed in earlier I would have been glad to barter labor with ya.
