antfouling paint removal
What is the best way to remove antifouling paint? I was looking at the peel away that you paint on and then pressure wash off but i've never used it before. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Media blasted is the best and easest. You probably have someone local check his previous work. Rick

Here in NZ we either use Soda blast or scrapers. If using scrape method take the corners off the blade with a grinder. This will help stop gouges and allows you to run up against strakes. Good luck.

I run a fiberglass shop in NC and I purchased an attachment that goes on my pressure washer that allows you to use a sand with it. This gives you the sandblasting tech without all the dust. This system works really well but you will still have to final sand and buff hull to get a factory gel finish. I have also run into having to re-gel if person sanding boat to prep for bottom paint was to heavy handed. The attachment cost around 125.00
