Restoring an Old Boat Alone – The Sticky Days Are Almost Over

In this episode, I’m sharing what this week was about. And yeah... I finally removed the old adhesive — step by step, trying different methods along the way) I started with mechanical cleaning using sandpaper. It worked, but it created a lot of dust, and the glue would clog the sandpaper after just a minute. I also tried a heat gun and several types of solvents. In the end, the best method turned out to be a combination of gently heating the thick layers — just enough to soften the glue without overheating the hull — and then using a xylene-based solvent. It’s important to use the right gloves for this kind of work: latex ones dissolve almost instantly, and nitrile ones survive maybe ten minutes longer. So make sure to choose gloves made from a material that’s resistant to your solvent. I’m sharing this for anyone who might face the same issue — especially those restoring old Winga hulls, since this type of adhesive was often used on them. ♥︎ If you feel like supporting my project, you can do it through PayPal https://paypal.me/mishushat?country.x...
