GRINDING AND SANDING ALMOST DONE!!!

It was pretty cool outside so it didn't bother me to be completely suited up. I opened the door and put a powerful fan in the back of the garage to push the dust out while I was working. Under my leather gloves I have surgical gloves taped to my cover all suit. I'm wearing a face mask, goggles and respirator. The painters suit im wearing has the built in feet I have found this to be very useful anything you can do to keep the damn fiberglas from making you miserable.  



The fine dust you make when grinding is a combination of the Fiberglas possibly gelcoat if you had some there and the rock hard adhesive they used when manufacturing these boats in the 50's and  60's
's

I used a four inch grinder with a grit sanding wheel.




Having the respirator on for long periods of time can be very difficult. 


I have a little more grinding to do to the transom but not enough to have to suit up again.


I was done ! I just finished sanding the bottom of the boat this day I started with grinding the floor but I wanted to be complete with the monkey suit.



Finally finished with the grinding and sanding the bottom of the boat.
