[Public-list] Gold cove stripe removal

[Don Lang]

To remove stripes at our boat repair shop we use a snap-on brand tool called a "crud thug" with the rubber eraser wheel installed. It makes stripe removal a very simple affair with very little labor. A light touch is required as too much pressure will burn the gelcoat. Mac tools has one also. You would have the stripe off the boat in less than an hour. The rubber wheel should be able to get in the groove of the cove with no problem. The snap on tool was around $500 bucks, the rubber wheels $20 - $30 each. One wheel would be plenty. Not sure if a rental company would have these but if they did it'd be worth renting one!

Best Regards,

I know what Ted is facing re the cove stripe --- Its seems a bugger to 
remove --  I tried heat gun
and no go.  I thought of easy-off but haven't tried it yet.  Note my 
hull is algrip.

 Any direct experience out there?
