As far as time required, I removed three complete top coats of paint
(about 75 lbs worth) and primers and fillers. brought up the new

root, big constant taper fuse, about 1100 hours.

1100 hrs... divide by 20 hours/week = 55 weeks , just over a year of

(spelling?) on my Kestrel... original 1972 gelcoat in great shape.
650 man hrs for club members to refinish ASK-21. Gelcoat off, fill,
contour, respray in acrylic urethane.
About 1/2 that for ASW-19 in gelcoat.
Good news is no need to go to gym for upper body exercise. My doctor
says that, for a fat guy, I have pretty good arms and shoulders.
