Re: new build GT Cruiser 23
So it's been a minute since I posted a thing. Lot's of frustration removing fiberglass. Finally done with that ugly mistake. Good news is that I'm making headway. I have a helper 2 days a week.

Re: new build GT Cruiser 23
Cool thank you.
Fiberglass applied wrong is mighty tough. I’m pondering getting a variable speed belt sander. Any thoughts.

Re: new build GT Cruiser 23
Hi guys.
Thank you for the advice. I’m going to keep sanding carefully to remove all of it. I’m glad it wasn’t more.

Re: new build GT Cruiser 23
Well I finally escaped captivity from the aoudads.
The radious are fixed and I started removing fiberglass. Do I need to remove every speck of the improperly applied fiberglass? I used a sanding wheel on my angle grinder very carefully.

Re: new build GT Cruiser 23
One more question,
Is a random orbital sander my best bet for removing these 2 layers of fiberglass or is a belt sander a better choice? I realize belt sanders can remove a bunch of material .

Re: new build GT Cruiser 23
Thanks guys. I figured lots of sanding was in my future. Apply and learn. It's part of the process.
I'll keep you posted. Hope all of you are doing well.
Dan, did you take the boat out?

Re: new build GT Cruiser 23
So I put on 2 layers of 6” fiberglass on the stern transom seams. I have a couple of places where I didn’t get the air out and or get good adhesion. I know this must be redone.
My question is do
I have to sand off all of the fiberglass or just the area that didn’t adhere well?
