Stripping Bottom Paint

[Tacit Blue]

Does anyone know of a company on the lake that will remove old antifouling paint (I have a few layers). I would prefer to have it done where my boat is kept at the Gilford Yacht Club if possible, rather then pay for another haul out and launch. Any suggestions or recomendations?

There is a new paint stripper called aqua strip that takes 4 to 8 layers at a time and is non-toxic. Look it up on the net!

I don't know if anyone ever tried this, but I used 'On-Off' to clean my old boat, and it almost took off the old bottom coat. If I had used a second application of the 'On-Off', I think I could have easily stripped off all of the bottom paint.

I'm not sure if it will take all bottom paint off, but it's cheap to buy a small bottle and try it to see how it will work for you.
