I wouldn't try & use that disk for grinding Gazza.
whoops, straight through the hull the first time it's used, hopefully Gazza posts some pics when that happens.
His boat is too wide for the gate... This might help narrow it a bitSent from my VOG-L09 using Ausfish mobile app
Surely the bit where it is labeled "dry cutting" and "cuts all" would indicate it isn't a grinding disc.
If you were chasing a grinding disc take this back before you use it and get your $20.00 back

Lets see how it goes in an hour or two... grinding down is the plan, no rubbing up and down...
Packet was ripped open so no taking it back i dont wanna look like an idiot taking stuff back either too paranoid

Do you have a flack jacket and military style full face helmet?
At first i started gouging didnt really have a feel for how to use it but a constand down motion with medium pressure and it rips all the gelcoat off in one pass
I done 1square meter in 20mins
The pinkish layer is undercoat and the diamond disc barely touches it

How are you going to get it all smooth again ready for painting?
Now you've just added another 60 odd man hours in repairs do you want to stop and have a think about what the hell you are actually doing?
This was purely cosmetic and totally unnecessary in terms of getting the boat back on the water. A more useful activity would have been wet sanding the pod or working on the floor and stringers.
I was going to refair it i had this planned from the beginning, take it back to undercoat tha fair than paint
The gelcoat is over 1mm thick on this hull its incredibly hard and almost impossible to sand with 60grit as i tried in my first video
The only way was to remove all of the gelcoat as the cracks went the full depth
O have the down time at the moment 2-4 weeks of nothing cant do anymore work to the boat i have no supplies
Supplies to fix the sides are a $45 tin of resin and a bag of qcell, sand paper etc.. that i can afford for now so it keeps me going

CT im doing a full rebuild it may not be perfect but i am not leaving the millions of cracks on the hull, the plan from the beggining was to fix this and so i am doing it as above post

Surely at this point you would be both across the fact that Gazfish is a run and gun kind of operator. Of course he doesn't have a plan to get the surface ready to be finished and of course his time and money would have been better spent elsewhere. But that's just not how he operates. #### shit up and ask questions and ignore the answers later is the modus operandi
You do you Gaz. F the haters
