Removing staples stuck in epoxy to lift the hull off the molds

In this episode I show how I remove the staples after securing the strips with epoxy. As I got some epoxy on some staples I get into trouble but finally I manage to free the hull.

Wow tough job and you cracked the nuts 😂 well. Its a bold and seemingly challenging undertaking you have created for yourself. Well done and i am enjoying your progress. I only counted one "damn"😊. It will become a beautiful and fast sailing machine. In this weather its time well spent.

Thank you for the positive support! Yes the weather does not favour sailing, still I try to both build and sail, although not at the same time.

If you take plastic strapping, coat it with packing tape, that allows you can staple through that and pull the strapping. It’s much faster with no dents. I’ve been following your progress with great interest.

Thank you for commenting and the support! Yes I agree there are numerous ways to improve the surface, I have tried a few. Plastic strapping will definitely be a good option. In this case I do not care so much about the hull surface as I plan to paint it, not varnish, thus I went with a quick and dirty approach.

I haven’t watched all episodes but looks like you are making good progress. I am confused with the cut out part on the one side. How will that proceed?

Thanks for commenting! The cut out part will be made into a center board case. I have delayed that step until I can make the top of the hull.
