Default Re: Boot Stripe removal help

T-Tom - I got into that this past fall, same difficulties, found that careful use of a 1" wide wood chisel worked very well. Do have to be careful to keep it laying flat, or will gouge into the gelcoat, and keeping it sharp was helpful, but it did get right under and peel the old boot stript tape off - I was able to do pretty much the entire boat in a couple of sessions one weekend.

now, about that darn 20 year old build up of bottom paint....
