No surprises found in the cleaned area.
All paint and filler stuff is now removed, down until the keel bend. That means that the keel itself is only left with the old paint etc. Maybe I’ll clean that part next spring, qho knows.
Rudder was the first target I tested the needle gun. Here’s the result after using it. Lightrer parts are those which I painted with epoxy paint without any further cleaning etc. Now I’ll use Rotex with 40-grit paper to remove the remaining paint and dirt and after that Zinga which is pure zinc.
Rudder cleaned with Rotex. I painted it directly afterwards with Zinga, picture is just missing. The rest of the paint layers there is no hurry. I’ll wait for warmer weather for those.
Here a picture of splittering old paint.
Looks bad
After using the needle gun, the lighter parts are those from which the old paint/filler dropped of and I used epoxy paint on those.
