No Title
Great idea to use the plastic to do the initial setup. Sure would be a lot easier on the neck, especially with part of the trailer's frame in the way.
Looks like I'll have no problems locating all the parts you described locally. Will have everything at hand before I get started. Which brings up this question: will the electric sander in the pic be a good bet? That's what I have but can also rent one for the day if there's a better option. If mine works would something like a 120 grit paper be adequate to get through the gel coat?
Will be making the sanded area exactly 8" wide, will mask off the area so that I have a nicely sanded straight area to work with. This may not be so bad after all. In a way doing the bondo was a great exercise as it showed me working on the keel to not be a big deal, so now I'm not that fearful of doing the fibreglass work. The worst part is removing all the dust that's now all over the boat.
