Has anyone had experiance with the "Peel away " or "Star10 "
strippers?
Both of these are supposed to remove antifouling bottom paint.

Peel away sucks - that's why I blasted the hull on the Ranger.

I've used Star 10 on refinishing projects here at the house - eh, just
like any other stripper.

I'm curious about something. You have to remove what exactly from the
hull - barrier coat?


It is Interlux Ultra Green A hard antifouling bottom paint. While I am a
great craftsman with wood, I am a neophyte when it comes to coatings for
marine apps.


That Interlux product is very hard - almost like epoxy in fact.

I understand your reluctance to use the blast method, but in this
case, it may be worth looking around for somebody with the skills and
expertise to do it. You might also look into soda blasting on this
stuff - might be more expensive and there won't be a lot of damage
with it.

You are going to hate me for saying this, but if you are dead set
against blasting the only way to really get it clean without sanding
like a mofo is burn it off with a propane torch. I've seen it done
with a roofing type torch or a shrink wrap torch. If you take your
time and do it slowly maintaining a constant low heat to peel it back,
you can do it yourself.

YIPE!!

I don't think a stripper is going to really work well for you on that
stuff because it is hard. Probably going to cost you more than it's
worth it - you could pay somebody to sand it for less money. There is
also a problem if you have some kind of substrate coating on the wood
- that may be a seperate problem.

Did you paint this boat or did you buy it for restoration?


The boat is owned by my partner. He had it painted several years ago. This
is just a routine maintenance issue.
