    I decided to eliminate the daggerboards. Just too awkward with an inflatable catamaran. Or maybe I did not have a good solution for it.

    Blow the surface with a heat gun. After a few seconds the glue will get soft and you can peel it easily. That is what I used with other brands. Never tried it with Porter Cable brand.

    Thanks for the detailed instructions, very helpful! I still have a few Bondo spreaders but with this super low viscosity resin I guess a brush is the easier way to go.

    Thanks for the tip! I have never used their products. Indeed a bit more expensive but I don't need that much, anyway.

    When I go to "about me" I can change various items like web site, location, etc. But I do not see a way to change or remove the signature that shows below posts. Any idea how to do that?
