As we work on removing old coatings from HENNING, we are taking off a few bits to ease access to tight areas. On some pieces like the forward thwart we are finding matching fasteners in good shape, and in others the fasteners are worn and mismatched. Some of the fasteners are coming out easily, like the ones below, and some won't budge at all.
We are wearing eye, skin, respiratory (N100 mask) and hearing protection as well as capturing dust with our Dust Deputy cyclonic separator and ShopVac with HEPA filter. We've found the cleanest approach involves encapsulating old coatings in stripper gel, then scraping small remnants of paint before we get to sanding the wood.
