Finally, after working for a few hours most days, I have finished taking the old paint from the interior of the dinghy. I used mostly a scraper with a heat-gun to loosen the old paint. In places, the space was limited so an old chisel was used too. Yesterday I brought home a pressure washer to do the siding on the house, and while I had it, I tried it on the paint in the boat too. Worked very well on the paint in the side buoyancy tanks, but did nothing to the paint on the outside of the hull.
Tomorrow, I shall give the interior a good sanding then vacuum it out. I have the recommended primer/sealer to go on next.
I also need to fill some gaps in the softer decking support boards. Try epoxy with filler.
