Here We Go Again

Hi Strick,

Sure wish you lived in so fl. for a work/ reward apprenticeship.

I bought an 89 20 sf 5 mos. ago and am soooo happy. It`s in very nice overall shape, but when they rigged it, they drilled into the core to mount the pulls and of course they failed. A real pain to remove the old core and I too thought it odd that they used small squares. I didn`t know better and used 1 pce cores. Being a former surfer[ roofing accident, so no more surfing] I was somewhat familiar w/ shrinkage and layup. I beveled the edges when I ripped them and used a belt sander freehand to radius a semicircle for the pulls so it wont be an issue. Used 1 layer biax under and 2 over. Flashes reaaaaaly fast in summer here. It`s now cooling off and here I am. The previous owner moved the batts under the console and the coffin cover is shattered.
Worse still is he put furring strips on top of the tank and used 5200 to do it! HELP ME.

How am I going to get it out w/ out ruining it completely?

My hatch is 8` 1'' x 26 1/4``. I found it interesting that you too chose 26 1/4 ``.............

Anybody got one laying around?

Can you cut the 5200 w/ something? Is there a solvent to break it down?

Really hope to save it for a recore.

You should be justly proud.

Just got my 1`st digi-cam and am learning slowly but will take pics of the disconnect and job. Hope the tank is ok.......

Thx for the great tips.
