I have a canoe that I am reworking. It's got a few holes in it and the
keel board has chunks of fiberglass missing and deep cracks in the
resin. Has anyone used a power planer on fiberglass as a way of
removing it? Did it ruin your planer?


HI .

Do not use an planer on anything but wood. Fiberglass is extremely
detrimental to any type of metal tool. Best bet use an coarse bodyshop type
sanding disc on an angle grinder. Control of this type tool is very crucial
as damage to life and limb can occur not to mention extreme gouging of work
piece. All loose uv . damaged material must be removed before repair can
be started. Good luck.
