I misjudged the waterline on my boat when I applied the epoxy barrier and
bottom paint.

I will not try to fix the epoxy barrier coat coverage but I will be
raising the bottom paint line when I put the boat on the trailer (in
preparation for our vacation on Put-In-Bay) next week.

So how do you remove the scum line? I have brushed it off every time I
have been in the water and washing down the boat and outdrive, but a scum
line remains.

TIA!



Hang out with a better crowd!


Not possible. ;-)



A mixture of oxalic acid and a mild scrub brush will do it.
Wear goggles.


OK. John recommended the same thing. Thanks!
