Thanks for all the advice, I’ll read carefully..

My preliminary thoughts: - The surface is corroded unevenly, it looks ugly but most of the holes seem to still have some strength. - The load is taken...

Hull bottom is different from N5.0 too, this one has more defined keels apparently

I want to add some to my cat now! And did you see at the tent-cot? Tent convertible to lounge chair

The putty knife did work :-). Just tested on an area but it appears to be straightforward. Thanks!
