Davy you are a craftsman enjoy watching and learning. You are a good man to help your neighbor. I know its a lot of work for you but your are doing a good thing.
The setting up is much the same as a power wood planer! Well done for showing people that a bit of time and patience spent on adjustment is well worth it. Buy yourself a good quality straight edge to set the blades.
It’s a learning process. It looks great and is getting better. Soon you will be a master with that tool, And you will be able, if you wish to make a lot of money, in the future. treating osmosis bubbles and removing gel coat from damaged boats. There are not a lot of these tools in use and even fewer people with your overall skill set.
Jesus, I looked on ebay for one of these tools and I quickly shut the ebay page down LOL....I was mortified by the price not that I needed one but my curiosity got the better of me. I never seen any available here in the UK they're only available in the USA from what I've seen. So, plod on davy helping your fellow boaties and may I wish you all, a very happy and eventful 2021.
Happy New Year! Another awesome video! Davy, I feel your pain. I too am vertically challenged. I'm always telling people that I'm not short, I'm fun size! Thanks for the update. Stay safe!
Looking good guys and its def hard work . Just a heads up re the Osmosis . Once its peeled you should pressure wash the bottom to rid all of the stale water etc possibly 2 times and then let it dry out The main reason is there will be salt deposits everywhere under the gel coat .
Yes that was the plan. We will wash it down a couple times. Then let it dry out for a few weeks. Maybe even a month of dry time depending on the weather here and what we see happening. We’ll go back to working on our boat during that time.
Well done. We all learn as you go. If you leave the old blisters, "Yes" you won't sink much. Just 1mm at a time, as your fibreglass, core material absorbers moisture. I suppose that way you become more of a cruiser and less of a sailor. All you have to do is move your waterline line higher.
So Davey that's great to see all that had work you are doing on this old Catalac 10M. BUT much more important what it that interesting boat alongside the dock with the tall mast and wonderful long 'widowmaker bowsprit?' ..time for a short midweek boat yard tour? Oh, by the way gelcoat was 'brushed on' in England long after the rest of the world was spraying gelcoat to much more even thicknesses and easier to apply way to much too. Cheers Warren
Hey Warren! The sailboat on the dock is our friends boat. A Bristol Channel cutter. Isn’t it beautiful! It is for sale at the moment too! Maybe I will do a boat yard tour. Not a bad idea! 😆 That makes sense the gelcoat varies in thickness in many places on that boat! Cheers Warren! Talk soon!
Barefoot Sail & Dive , thanks for info really interesting! Love to know more about the BCC. I would be so worried about Terrido worms with a wood boat , but maybe that’s a bit further south??. Cheers Warren
Take a look at this video I made for Lynne ruclips.net/video/VSjcKloFXIE/видео.html No issue with worms. It is being hauled out soon for a full bottom job too.
Loving the channel, nearly bought a 10m catalac, but bought solaris sunrise instead which needs osmosis treatment so going to have to do exactly what your doing. So cheers for great tutorial, 👍
They make carbide inserts with radius corners so it won't leave line in your work. Some inserts are 1.8 and some 2.0 thick. Any woodworking tools company carries them.Also, use a touch of never-seize on screws and they will remove much easier in contrasting metals.
Hi Davy Thanks for a great channel! I can recommend you to use ear protection when using tools such as the peeler or in similar situations. You damage your hearing severely without it. Happy new year! Cheers /matt
Happy new year to you both . And have merry time and don't go home and Stay with your boat . Also stay away from needles just drink drink a can of Schweppes tonic water every other day and take a 1000mg of vitamin C and a zinc tablet every day .But you don't need vitamin D tablet as you are getting lots of Sun where you are now , Not like hear in the UK must don't know what they can do we should take of this all the time to stop the bad flu virus getting the better of us the people of the world .
Don't forget that your right arm will be stronger than your left most of the the time and push harder on your right so i would to be safe is to take cuts at 0.6 cuts or just use the old blades to start with to be on the safe side .
I was a bit worried at the beginning when you were showing the blade adjustment.. was it still plugged in ?? I hope not.. the few seconds of unplugging and plugging are a lot shorter time than an ER visit.. Great video, it looks like you are getting quite skilled with it.
Happy New Year guys. My goodness but doesn’t that make quick work of the paint. And a good consistent depth. How long do you think it would have taken the traditional way? I’ve been impressed with this tool all along, but when you are doing such a big area all at once, it’s benefits really stand out.
It would take days to do it the traditional way and much harder to keep a uniform depth! We are in love with this tool. One whole side in an afternoon. They say you can do a whole 35 foot monohull in one day. Thank you as always for watching Bob!
Hi Davy, I looked up the peeler and was surprised at the cost. Looks like a quality tool and limited volume production. For a small job where you are doing as small section, could you use a cheep electric plainer? The plainer is similar but has a single long blade instead of the four small blades, I wonder how it would work.
This one is made to follow the curve of a boat. I don’t think the cheap electric one would work the same way. It is an awesome tool and we are very happy with it.
Why did you take the gelocat off? Were there osmosis bubbles that indicated hydrolysis? Those initial cuts seem to show bubbles in the gelcoat and nothing further into the fiberglass or core ...
David..... in the future please show us you are unplugging that peeler before you put tools and your fingers anywhere near those blades.....I was cringing when you pulled the tool down when one side wasn’t cutting right and immediately put your fingers on the blades.....never trust switches or machines to be safe...always unplug first....I have seen some really gruesome accidents just because of this...Be safe and keep all your digits.
Maybe go less of a bite and do two passes 90 degrees to eachother, it is a little more work but probably not bad. its worth a shot to see if it comes out without any ridges,
Hi informative video, but shouldn’t you be using ear protection, having worked with power tools and in noisy environments over a long period, tinnitus isn’t nice I can tell you...it just never goes away
It’s a 36 foot catamaran that is hurricane damaged. Far from a million dollars. And if you watch our story you will know that we have been working along the way. Only covid that stopped us from working.

Davy I do not care if you are as short as a Hobbit. I have learned so much from watching you with my fiber glass work you stand as a giant in my eyes.
Thank you so much! 😆😆
I think you'r the happiest when your playing will your tool ! ..... You are defiantly the right man for that job ⛵️👍
Cheers!!!
Enjoy your channel.....can't wait until you are in the water...keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!!!
Davy you are a craftsman enjoy watching and learning. You are a good man to help your neighbor. I know its a lot of work for you but your are doing a good thing.
Thank you 🙏
The setting up is much the same as a power wood planer! Well done for showing people that a bit of time and patience spent on adjustment is well worth it. Buy yourself a good quality straight edge to set the blades.
Thanks for watching 🙏
Hello Davy, you’re a honorable man. You are helping others on their boats, if it is yours.
Cheers!
I doubt it's a freebie!
Thanks guys. All the adjustments to the tool will be very helpful when I start using the tool on the deck of my boat.
I think I should order some more blades. They aren’t that expensive.
We haven’t used many blades but can’t hurt to have extras around!!
Great Video Davy. Thanks for all the info on using the tool and thanks to the helpful comments left by viewers..
Thank you so much! Cheers!
It’s a learning process. It looks great and is getting better.

I agree. I will be a master of this tool soon I think! Learning more and more every day!
Thanks for watching!

Thank you! May 2021 be a better year for us all.
It is an expensive tool but definitely worth it.
Very interesting... keep up the great work
Thank you!!
Very informative, I enjoy learning about what you have done, great job.
Thank you!!
Excellent explanation Davey, you’d make a great instructor. The peeler company should hire you to do some instructional video as for them!
Thank you! 🙏🙏
And A Happy New Year's to you from southwest Florida
Cheers!!
Happy New Year! Another awesome video! Davy, I feel your pain. I too am vertically challenged. I'm always telling people that I'm not short, I'm fun size! Thanks for the update. Stay safe!
Hahah yes definitely fun sized 😆
Thanks for answering the question of removing bottom paint. Good luck with both projects. Happy New Year from Nova Scotia.
No problem! Cheers!!
Looking good guys and its def hard work . Just a heads up re the Osmosis . Once its peeled you should pressure wash the bottom to rid all of the stale water etc possibly 2 times and then let it dry out The main reason is there will be salt deposits everywhere under the gel coat .
Yes that was the plan. We will wash it down a couple times. Then let it dry out for a few weeks. Maybe even a month of dry time depending on the weather here and what we see happening.
We’ll go back to working on our boat during that time.
OSHA approve safety sandals ?
I think that is AMAZING progress for on day ! The hardest part is the bottom part of the hull. Don't over work yourself.
Haha of course! 😂😂
It is great progress but as you said the hardest part is under the hull
Well done. We all learn as you go. If you leave the old blisters, "Yes" you won't sink much. Just 1mm at a time, as your fibreglass, core material absorbers moisture. I suppose that way you become more of a cruiser and less of a sailor. All you have to do is move your waterline line higher.

Best wishes.
Good idea! Cheers!
Thanks again Davy, perfect explanations for us beginners, which helps me heaps. All the best for the New Year to you both.

Cheers! Yes there seems to always be a tool for the job!
Happy new year to you guys to. Here's to growing your channel in 2021 to something realy big.

Happy new year guys 🎉🍾 , awesome video , you're doing a great job on that bots , hey where i can get that tool ?
Thank you so much.
Go to paintshaver.com and look at Gelpeeler Pro
Don't forget that your right arm will be stronger than your left most of the the time and push harder on your right so i would to be safe is to take cuts at 0.6 cuts or just use the old blades to start with to be on the safe side .
Didnt think of that. Interesting!!
Happy Newyear.. love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Cheers!!!
Hello, should we unplug the tool to do this or is it ok not to🤔😎
I was a bit worried at the beginning when you were showing the blade adjustment.. was it still plugged in ?? I hope not.. the few seconds of unplugging and plugging are a lot shorter time than an ER visit.. Great video, it looks like you are getting quite skilled with it.
Of course it was unplugged!! Don’t worry!
Thank you so much I for watching! Cheers!
Happy New Year guys. My goodness but doesn’t that make quick work of the paint. And a good consistent depth. How long do you think it would have taken the traditional way?

For a small job where you are doing as small section, could you use a cheep electric plainer? The plainer is similar but has a single long blade instead of the four small blades, I wonder how it would work.
Yer its not cheep bit its good , no the wood plane will only work on flat surfaces for small jobs just use a grinder with a flap disc
This one is made to follow the curve of a boat. I don’t think the cheap electric one would work the same way.
It is an awesome tool and we are very happy with it.
Why did you take the gelocat off? Were there osmosis bubbles that indicated hydrolysis? Those initial cuts seem to show bubbles in the gelcoat and nothing further into the fiberglass or core ...
Davy I must say how surprised I am in the problems you had on the Lower part of the Hull. I would expect that to be your area of expertise :)
Yes we were surprised as well but nothing we can’t fix. Thank you for watching as always! Cheers!!
Do you use a stone to give the blades a touch up ?
No haven’t done yet. Might try if we start getting low on blades.
So what insert code does it use? CMMG, etc...
David..... in the future please show us you are unplugging that peeler before you put tools and your fingers anywhere near those blades.....I was cringing when you pulled the tool down when one side wasn’t cutting right and immediately put your fingers on the blades.....never trust switches or machines to be safe...always unplug first....I have seen some really gruesome accidents just because of this...Be safe and keep all your digits.
Maybe go less of a bite and do two passes 90 degrees to eachother, it is a little more work but probably not bad. its worth a shot to see if it comes out without any ridges,
Nope. Double the work and it’s too heavy.
Just a light sand afterwards and the ridges are gone.
.10 in
Cheers!
I just paint the blisters and move on. Less damage than peeling and destruction of the already thin glass. No boat ever sank from blisters.
That’s one was of doing it I suppose. This boat is like 30 years old. Back in the days of super thick fibreglass.
@@BarefootTravels 1990 super thick? 1960 maybe but the point is it is better to leave a sleeping dog you know.
For our American friends .6 of a MM is 0.023622 of an inch and .25 MM is 0.0984252 of an inch
Thank you!!
Hi informative video, but shouldn’t you be using ear protection, having worked with power tools and in noisy environments over a long period, tinnitus isn’t nice I can tell you...it just never goes away
Probably should. I’ll try to remember them.
you should wera ear plugs.......
Probably should. You are right
I do not see blisters. Show a close view of blisters.
Don’t worry you will see plenty in the next video!
nice...floating e beggers in a million dollar boat....
It’s a 36 foot catamaran that is hurricane damaged. Far from a million dollars. And if you watch our story you will know that we have been working along the way. Only covid that stopped us from working.
