[QUOTE="thill, post: 511778, member: 4972"] Good start gutting the boat. If you feel the need to open around the rivets and seams, I'd recommend using a wire wheel instead of abrasives wheels. Don't push into it hard, just lightly run the wheel over loose areas. I personally am not into removing paint that is tightly adhered. I've seen others cause problems where they did not exist before by trying to clean or strip well-bonded paint. If your boat really doesn't leak a drop, scuff and add Gluvit if you feel necessary. I think your reasoning is good. Knock off the loose stuff, scuff and apply. I see you got the Gluvit down. Good job. Now, on to the next steps! [/QUOTE]
