Re: Bottom Paint removal
Several things we need to know first: What is your hull made of. Do you know what paint is on the bottom, such as epoxy, or anti-fouling paint. I personnaly would try a heat gun if it is on wood boat, If it is fiberglass, I would try aircraft/marine epoxy paint remover, but be very careful because this can soften and damage the fiberglass and gel coat. Only apply enough to soften up the top coat of paint, then scrap the excess of with putty knife. Be sure to wash off any remaing remover, because this can keep the next coat of paint from adhering to your bottom. I would try small areas first to see what works best. The epoxy paint remover is very flammable and will burn the heck out of your skin, so take precautions. One small speck the size of the end of a pen is enough to let you know you got it on you. Good luck....<br /><br /><br />Never buy a boat on blocks from a redneck.
