Joshua, the owner of a 59-year-old wooden boat, is stripping bottom paint from the hull to assess the condition of the planking.0:25 He uses infrared heat lamps to soften the paint, though the high metal content in the bottom paint makes the process difficult and dulls standard scrapers.4:07 He switched to a carbon steel blade scraper to improve efficiency.14:22 To manage dust and fumes, he uses a respirator, makeshift cotton head covering, and repurposed German safety goggles.13:11 He removes loose cotton caulking from the seams using a custom reefing hook fashioned from a bolt, but leaves tight caulking in place to maintain the hull's shape.3:20 He powers his tools with a dual-fuel propane and gasoline generator.5:25 After completing one-third of the port side, he plans to finish the remaining hull once temperatures remain consistently above freezing.6:28
