    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    I NEED HELP. PLEASE SPEAK UP IF YOU'RE JUST FOLLOWING BUT HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS IN THE PAST. Time for me to fess up about a mistake. So I'm looking at some rashes right now from fiberglass exposure to my arms..... itchy as all hell as you all know! Is they're any way to get these...

    Yes. That was the part that I was so excited about. I actually added about $700.00 worth of goodies to my Amazon cart early on before I knew what I was getting into. I am a pro at spending money and need a new expensive hobby to keep me from spending excess money on my old expensive hobby. 😂

    I got out there today and hit it hard. Spent 6 hours cutting the remaining pieces out along with cutting the floor to expose old stringer remnants from a past restoration that were glassed over.

    I'm going at it hard tomorrow and Thursday hopefully. I believe I am a matter of a single digit number of hours before the rebuild happens! Last bits of cutting and sanding is all that's left.

    This was the option I was thinking on going with. I live in Wisconsin. Both hot and cold temps. Nothing too coastal....But we do get humidity during Summer.
