[Public-List] Removing antifouling paint

Hi Bill,

Use the interlux stripper for Glass Boats. Spend the money. Household 
strippers may damage the gelcoat. Do not attempt to use the stripper below 
20C as it won't work well in cooler conditions

Use a drop cloth

Hope this is a help

Best regards

John
