I am currently sanding and prepping the console, it was gel coated on the inside and there was a bunch of different types of paint in there which had to be sanded off, will sand the entire inside back to bare glass, reinforce and add a coosa core to the sides as the new t-top is being bolted directly to the console, also adding coosa further up to screw electronic components into, and then seal the whole inside with an epoxy primer,

I wanted to share my power tool quiver with you guys,

3" makita belt sander, using mainly with 40 grit belts, it eats through uneven glass and gelcoat, I love this tool, connecting a vacuum to it is a very clean way of prepping fiberglass surfaces,

1-1/8 belt sander, with 40 grit belts This is an awesome tool for spot grinding and getting into corners, the radius on it is ideal for edges and corners, I saw a guy on youtube using this tool to do clean fiberglass prep a while back and bought one, it really keeps the dust to a minimum

Multimaster, I use my oscillator mainly for precise cutting of glass as its also a very clean tool, I love this tool for getting right into the edges when cutting glass from core,

Rotary sander, Angle grinder, and a 3.5" saw,

I try to avoid using the angle grinder as much as possible as it is so god damn messy, I really am trying to keep the dust to a minimum, to keep the neighbours and the admiral happy and off my back,
