I's a bit late in the game to ask, but is there a reason you opted not to use a chemical stripper? Did you try one and find it wasn't effective? I've never found dry stripping faster or more efficient than chemical stripping, and there are a number of good strippers, some of which are considerably more benign than MEK.
I enjoy perusing these northwest threads. It seems like I know every boat and every vista. Wondering if "the Oregon Petrel" used to be the same Petrel that belonged to Chris and Kathy Grace out of Port Townsend and was sold a few years ago back to Oregon?

I have some of my own photos of her (Petal......also of Wells Gray when she was owned by Dave Walker). I've cruised and rafted with both of those boats.
