[C320-list] OSCILLATING MULTI TOOL

[Ken Geiger]

Those tools are useful for a number of things that otherwise would be difficult.  I have use one to remove tile adhesive from plywood.  I tried the scrapper blade but settled on a toothed blade of the Japanese saw type.  It worked pretty well but did dig into the plywood sometimes when I was not careful.  Digging in was not a problem in that case but could be for you.  On other jobs I have used masking tape to protect surfaces from scratches with mixed success.

I’m about to remove the fixed port lights on my boat and was wondering whether anyone has done this with one of these oscillating tools? I believe that attacking this from the inside, a thin cutting blade could work between the glass and the hull cut the adhesive to get the old glass out. Should also work well in getting the old caulking off the boat.
