Project Log: Wednesday, September 8, 2010
With a bit of time available after work, I decided to
remove the old name, which I didn't like and didn't
intend to keep. I could have waited till I began
the hull paint prep and simply sanded off the old name,
as I often do, but I didn't want the name to keep
showing up in pictures.
Using a heat gun on a low setting, I peeled away the
thin vinyl lettering on both sides of the transom and
used solvent to remove the adhesive that remained
behind. This took long enough (about an hour) that
I was glad I'd not wasted a "real" work day on the
job--a pesky, ultimately unsatisfying job required only
for vanity at this stage--but required nonetheless. |

Afterwards, I removed the stern pulpit, which was
pleasantly easy. One screw spun off its head, but
the remaining 7 came out with relative ease.
Frankly, I'd expected more of a fight based on my
experiences with the 10 stanchions and the bow pulpit,
which was perhaps the reason I'd refrained from
attempting the stern pulpit late in the day last
Saturday. Removing the pulpit took only a couple
minutes. |
