Step-by-Step of what I did today.
This may or may not apply to your particular application.
The procedures and materials were my choice.
How you decide to patch your Tin is your choice.
This was todays project - next time, it may be different.

Please see the next post for part 2.

Very cool.... I just wanted to give respect to you as I read many threads on here and you my friend are a huge contributor. You always have something nice to say also you have great advice and I like your style... Have a good day sir... Oh yeah good job on the hull repair
 
Nice work! I've also seen it done using Bondo "hair" and then glassing over it. If you want to remove paint quickly, use an angle grinder with a 40 grit flap wheel, it will remove paint like there's no tomorrow.
