Here’s a link to a topic that may be of some help to you. Member “pjay9”, Peter Walsh, documented the most extensive TC rebuild project I’ve ever seen. His 2004 Lance 1161 had some serious water damage from its life in the Tacoma, WA area. A local outfit completely stripped the exterior skin off, rebuilt major sections of the damaged frame, and reskinned it.
I could have sworn there was a picture in this topic somewhere showing one of the rebuild guys wielding a long handled scraper like the one I described working on removing a section of the filon. I scanned through the topic, but can’t find the picture I was looking for. Maybe it was in another of his topics. If I remember right, Capt PJ passed away 4-5 years ago.
Rebuild is moving forward! pjMy recollection is that the skin was scraped/peeled/ripped off which left a lot of glue and luan backer behind, then angle grinders were used to remove that from the framing.
