How did you remove the glue? it looks like you did an amazing job of it.

[montie]

heat gun, elbow grease ,scraper wire wheel, and beer.never going to do this again.it is going well but man it takes time to it right

[montie]

I am going to tackle this job in the next year or two. I'm sure it a big PITA, but it's looking so good. Once it's finished you can always look at your work and be proud.

[montie]

I guess you are right about that.I am to fussy and hate mistakes.so far all is well and it will be worth it in the end

[montie]

I called this picture grief.its an outside corner and a inside corner where the storage lid goes on,man what a pain to do ,oh well done now, the best i could.

[montie]

I could of filled the corner that looks funny but did not bother .I found out that once the lids are on for a while it compacts the carpet and it looks just fine

[Legend Chris]

I did mine last year and it really makes the boat.

[montie]

I must agree with you ,my boat is looking more like new everyday.
