Re: Tin addiction 18' Starcraft Chieftain

so when do "we" blow-up that nasty glasser?

Didn't Aqua leave the itcher over in the resto forum? You missed the chance to abandon it, WM. :laugh:

The tank is a great fit, BTW.

Yeah that rotten glass beast has a date with destruction this Friday morning. $75 a ton is a pretty cheap date too!

Okay by popular demand from the association of tin boatmen here is what you've all been waiting for... 9 minutes of your life well spent seeing the demise of a rotten glasser.

I can watch that happen to glassers all day, I'd even subscribe to glass crusher channel if there was one.

Thought I would bop the video to the next page just in case another glass hater stops by.

I had to scale that thing of course and we all know why people come here asking why their new to them boat doesn't plane fast and why so many people put those fin things on their AC plates. That boat was striped down and weighed in at 1980 LBS!!! A freaking ton!!!

Nice custom looking fit on the tank!

Been staying away from your thread since you had it moved over to tin land..., until now...
Now, that the tin men have had their taste of glasser blood, I feel a little better about popping in here...However, I really can't hang around as much as I would like too...You see, if I do, all this feeling good about grinding and trashing glassers, might get in my blood and before you know it, I'll be taking a chain saw to my almost restored bucket of fibers...
BTW, good selection of background music for the great demise!
Happy Monday

Re: Tin addiction 18' Starcraft Chieftain

Trailer work, ugg this 1993 had decals baked on and plastered down all the tubes with 3" wide stickers before anything was bolted on. What a mess. The adhesive formula came from a secret lab somewhere in the mountains of Nevada. Let's see now, the Klean strip pulled off the stickers fine, then the adhesive turned to gray sticky snot. Hey I'll wheel that off... naw... acetone naw, more stripper made more snot. I know let it dry up crusty and the wheel will take it off... naw heated it up and it's snot. Getting desperate, went through everything in my garage right down to WD40 and even some gas. Nothing seems to do much except make the snot smear around. Went to HD and looked at the adhesive removers, I could spend 50 bucks trying them all. Anyone have good luck using some product to remove sticker adhesive from about 50 feet of trailer tube? If so please let me know.

This stuff looks so innocent too like it's not even a problem. That's if you just leave it alone. As soon as I start messing with it the stuff becomes angry and turns to nuclear snot.

Then I have to try and get the sticker stuff off after I remove the wheels.

I hate trailer work and now to add this atomic sticker snot into the mix.

Re: Tin addiction 18' Starcraft Chieftain

I used MEK to get the glue off inside where the trays were and where the vinyl top was on the cabin outside, even the registration numbers with it. On just the glue areas I poured some on some fine steel wool and it came right off.
