[QUOTE="redphysher, post: 115226, member: 1707"] Ok, I plan to start my sanding and paint removal on my boat trailer and then the boat. Coming up this weekend. Possibly a little work this week. I have changed my work schedule to be able to get off before dark. So, that will give me an hour and half or so of daylight before having to use lights. In my opinion natural light is so much easier to work around. I have a few questions before I get started. Boat: 1) Can you use a palm sander to take off areas of paint that are not near rivets? (or can I sand the whole boat with it) 2) Should I only use a wire wheel to remove paint? To keep from damaging rivets. ( I plan to remove 95% of paint it has powdered per say...very chaulky) 3) What is the best aluminum angle to use for benchwork? Trailer: 1) It is a steel trailer (home made) that is rusted in places. I take my boat mainly to saltwater marshes here in Louisiana. I plan to replace the trailer in the future with a galvanized (or aluminum) trailer. Is it ok to sand it and re paint? 2) I need to replace the wiring harness and lights, any ideas on trailer lights? thanks, [/QUOTE]
