I have my bulkheads ready to go. I just need to get the tabs in place. I read about de- waxing the fiberglass before grinding. Well I have already ground the old tabs out and I am ready to start layup. But, this was before I read about the de-waxing. Am I asking for trouble? I just went to town grinding away but had no idea about a waxy buildup on the inside of the hull. Can anyone interject? Seth-

De-waxing

I wouldn't worry too much about that Seth. You're going to need to clean up the area with Acetone anyway. Just clean it up good and you shouldn't have a problem. Wear your resperator, open all hatches and maybe use a fan to blow the fumes out while you're doing it.
