go shopping
call at the hardware store - home depot probably best if one near you - and buy the scraper in the previous message. then join the local fitness club to get limbered up - important to get all those sinews, etc. stretched out. if you model your hands, buy a pair of thick heavy duty gloves - the ones they use when working on telegraph poles - home depot have them usually. while there ask for some good old elbow grease - patented years ago by 'im up there - but still available. oh yes, the goggles and mask. of course, a few bottles of turpentine, for the hair washing afterwards, unless going discoing every evening that week. delightful job. did ours last year. remember to use best quality bottom paint. cheaper quality needs stripping frequently. done well now, powerwashed when laying up and a course sandpapering - 80 grit - before repainting every spring with the same gooooooooooood quality bottom paint will will disappoint the disco owners for at least ten years or more. perhaps the soundest of recommendations is petit epoxy - proven and well know. cheap paint is the biggest mistake - unless, of course you are into a lot of discoing every year. enjoy yourself for next week thinking of how beautiful you baby will look when you have finished - it will keep you going = or the wife or girl friend, etc. remember, when you have finished, and if there is no resin under the paint, you may be better to slap some on rather than sand the gel coat too much. check with a goooooooooooooooood boat yard or someone who knows plenty. yes - you wil;l get all the advice you need and more! have a delightful week. yours uneviously, biscuit.
