Hello everyone. Makin' Luff was recently pulled, pressure washed, and blocked. In examining the bottom and keel, I found several areas where the previous layers of paint had been removed down to the original gelcoat. According to the previous owner, the bottom has never been completely stripped. I hope to do this fun job using a product called Peel Away, available at BoatUS and West Marine. I've used it before on J22's and Implulses with limited success (mainly due to too low temps and removing it earlier than recommended). Once all the paint is removed, I plan to fill in and fair the repairs, then barrier coat and bottom paint. The referenced photo was taken spring of '05 prior to sanding and repainting.I'm asking for advice, product reviews and / or recommendations, and general information from anyone who's done this project and has useful information to pass along. Any assistance would be appreciated. Photos even more so.Paul, if you're reading this, I still have the information you gave me awhile back regarding specific fairing of the trailing edge of the keel and rudder. I hope to incorporate that advice into the project.Thanks in advance. I want to wish everyone a wonderful and peaceful holiday.Curtis
