I finally got to remove the stitches and thankfully the hull did not pop open. A couple of the stitches had epoxy on them and I was worried about getting them out, however the copper wire easily came out once I tugged a bit. Hopefully this doesn't mean the epoxy is not strong enough...
The stitches on the stems and on the frames are still in. After a bit more gluing in a few days they can come out too.
I then added more glue in all the channels, especially where the stitches had been. When possible I also plugged the wire holes. No need to wait, as far as I can tell.
Time: 2.5 hours
Total: 41 hours
