rust and steel boats

so i guess it all started one day with a "you want me to what?"
but i did anyway-


the boat has a few really bad rust spots that are covered in putty, but the rust is seaping up through the cracks in the putty. so we have to chizzel the putty away, clean the rust spots and then reprimer and paint.
so here i am with my hammer and chizel ready to enjoy a beautiful sunny january day in california. throw on a tank and roll up the jeans and get started-



What do you mean "the whole boat?"



hours and hours later and many ibuprophen for the sore back, i got through 2 big spots. there has got to be a better way to do this.

Will says try an air compressor & a specialty tool called a needle gun, for small areas and a deck growler for larger areas. That's what they use on his ship. But, DO NOT USE ON WOOD! By the way he is SUPER jealous...
