If you are still trying to remove the TAPE, warm it with a heat gun on as low as it goes, or try a hair dryer to heat it.
That will lower the risk of gouging the surface with the razor scraper.

Well first, welcome to the forum.

Dave R,
Well, given the parameters that exist, the area is mostly a covered porch, which would mean T&G flooring.
My suggestion is to remove the (offending) OSB and put in Ipe T&G, with S/S...

Well, certainly a "out of the box" design!
I love it. You and your contractor did good!
However, I am still a little confused about this. If the sub/finish floor (the green OSB) is...

Nice addition, looks like a pleasant place to relax.

My 2 cents,

Yea, the personality of all the crew made me want to know them better.

I certainly don't mean to lose track of the seriousness of the loss of Claudene Christen and Capt. Walbridge.
Too sad!

Tom,
Your frustration comes through loud and clear!
You seem to be doing what is correct, I can only say that you may have success with repeated heatings and quick quenching to break the bond.

flanagaj,

Yes, the station spacing 'should' be given but is not in that chapter; it is 4 feet from #1 through #8, and 5'6" to stem and transom. Not made clear in the book.
Hope this helps!
