Today was not fun. Grinding, grinding and then some more grinding followed by some grinding and after lunch (the Mrs came out with two sausages in rolls with sauce) I did some more grinding.
Bottom line is that the gelcoat is removed from pretty well everywhere I need to glass over. I moved the boat down my driveway but even then dust was getting all over my neighbour's cars so I ended up reversing the trailer onto the nature strip which is as far away from others as I could get it. I still ended up hosing off the neighbours cars at the end of the day and I noticed dust on the cars up the street but the hose does not extend that far!
Today the dust was so bad I would grind for 20 minutes or so and then hose the whole boat out. I should have taken soem photos because unless you have done this job you would not realise just how much dust is created doing this job. It is unbelievable.
The way I see it the dust has to go somewhere and it will either blow away and become an airborne hazard or I could wash it out and more or less contain it. I realise it's the lesser of two evils (don't email me about water restrictions please) but as far as I'm concerned what I've done is the best way to deal with the problem.
Tomorrow (bank holiday) I'm off to the timberyard to buy the new keel stringer. I'll then fashion it to the right shape and do my first ever fiberglassing!!! 6 months worth of reading and education will come to the fore tomorrow so stay tuned for the result.
