Re: do motor mounts get epoxied to hull?
I plan to bed them to the hull and to the stringers both with peanut butter.
After cutting the glass I was able to easily pry them away from both the stringers and the hull!
I have just finished grinding the hull, about 20 hours. Most tabbing had large and small spots that looked starved for resin - so I am back to the hull in most places.
Based on Bond -O's advice I will use ply for stringers - the originals were 1x dimension lumber.
The Tyvek disposable suits with hood and boots along with a full face mask prevented any itching, although I went through about a hundred dollars worth - 12 suits.
The Harbor Freight 7" grinder with 24 grit discs was fantastic along with my 4.5" grinder with cut off discs.
My transom, which looked pretty good came out in flakes. I did not need any chiseling and just 5 minutes of grinding.
