    In listening to the tech speak at the 1:30 mark he says epoxy. Whalers were never made with any epoxy. Rookie mistake not knowing the boats matl. composition.

    Hi Noli, I suspect a gelcoat peeler is not good for removing wet wood, but I have not personally used a gelcoat peeler. As mentioned above, they are intended for planing away modest layers of gelcoat and fiberglass. The glass/rigging shop I worked at many, many years ago had one, but it was rarely used despite the fact that we did osmotic blister jobs on yachts fairly often (which is what they were marketed for). I seem to recall there were issues getting the knives setup all correctly. Our glass-prep labourer would usually just use a big grinder and regular disc.

    Matt

    I wonder if the metal chisel is what caused some of the stress cracks on the bottom of mine? I know when the core was removed an air hammer was used. I've always thought it was just from the completely rotten core allowing the outer skin to flex. Now I'm thinking differently. Glad I repaired them all.

    Interesting thread. Seeing as I have no idea how mine was stripped I’ll be making an extra close inspection of the hull before I begin any layup
