The hull required two additional rounds of sanding, this time with 80-120 grit on a vibrating sander. These rounds essentially completed the major portion of the surfacing work, but there were a few isolated areas where I decided to apply a final round of fairing filler to take care of minor pinholes. I'd take care of any further detail work later, after high-build primer.
With a heat gun and scraper, I stripped the old finish from the cockpit coamings and after coaming. Then, I sanded the surfaces with 80 grit to remove final bits of finish and even out the wood for cleaning. Outside, I scrubbed the wood with a mild cleanser/bleach in an attempt to brighten the wood and remove minor stains. I let the wood dry and brought the coamings back inside for further work in the near future.
Meanwhile, I used the heat gun and scraper to remove the old finish from the toerails on all sides, bringing me to the end of the day.
