Hi all. Am completing some repairs of Windstar's bottom and am at the stage of fairing the glasswork. I need to remove the vc-tar from the gelcoat to create about a 4" clean margin around the repair, so that the tar does not contaminate the fairing epoxy. I have read all kinds of stuff online about doing the entire bottom, however this is not in scope this season. I need only to remove the vc-tar from a few areas. Sanding makes a mess, clogs the paper, and requires enough aggression to hit the gelcoat. Acetone attacks the vc tar and not the gelcoat, but makes a dirty wash, and is nasty.... Both work, but do not seem to be ideal.
Thinking of wire cup brush on a grinder, and maybe some kind of gentler gel paint stripper. Anyone been down this road? Many thanks! Dave '85 33-2 "Windstar"
