Fiberglass over Alum.

[Uncle Dave]

I recently purhcased a 12' alum pond boat. The previous owner had covered (smeared) the bottom with fiberglass. Doesnt leak. It does add lots of weight.<br />Anyone have any suggestions as how to remove the fiberglass?////////<br /><br />Fitz.

Heat....<br />But not Too Much.....<br />Maybe an Industrial Sized Heat Gun....

Bondo,<br /><br />I have a paint remover. Looks like A souped up hair dryer. You can not hold you hand in front for more than a few seconds. <br />Would that work?<br />Thanks

I had a fiberglass patch on the aluminum boat I am working on.<br />When I sprayed the paint remover on, the patch came off. I used Hydrostrip502 on mine
