Description: OLD SAILORS GET SHIT DONE T-SHIRT! 6 days left to buy!! bonfire.com/abandoncomfort UNCLE SCOTT, RANDI & JORDAN (youtube.com/channel/UCsVjvlRBIbWVTFtQXemzXqA) Thank you. We seriously couldn't have done this without you. Your backs are probably still sore from your day spent with your favorite slavedrivers :) THE NITTY GRITTY ON THE TEAK REMOVAL PROCESS: The FWD half of the boat and AFT deck was very easy to remove. No need to plane, heat up the adhesive or use an air chisel. Midships was very difficult to remove and in great shape. If the whole boat was in the shape of the midships planks we wouldn't be pulling 16 hour days hunched over - we'd be on some white sandy beach somewhere south with the original teak still on Luci. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Our best practices for removing stubborn teak & not damaging the gelcoat: 1. Use pipe cutter drill bits to carve out around teak plugs 2. Flathead to pry out plugs & drill out screws 3. Use planer to reduce size of plank 4. Use heat gun to aid in removal of devils glue 33-year-old adhesive 5. Use hammer & flathead to carefully remove plank 6. Use oscillating tool to remove leftover adhesive 7. 60 grit to remove remaining stubborn adhesive 8. Drill out existing screw holes to aid in epoxy adhesion 9. Vacuum everything - especially deep into the screw holes 10. Prep & fill pre-existing screw holes with thickened epoxy Learn About All the Ways You Can Support Our Show: AbandonComfort.com/support Follow us on Instagram: bit.ly/2pMPpxf Like us on Facebook: bit.ly/2pLGd9M **Want to support us without costing you anything?** Seriously, this won't cost you a dime and it really makes a huge impact on our abilities to produce full-time and not having to worry about working other jobs.
