[Public-List] Removing antifouling paint

[C.B. Currier]

As I have Said to others in the past, and take my word for it, and most
will confirm, for this job you will need 24 Grit floor sanding Sand paper,
a shop vac, and a good RO dustless sander - I recommend Porter Cable. 
No other way is time efficient - other than Sand or Soda blasting.

Yes, I have tried the chemical stripping method - takes months and
still you get nowhere.

I did my hull back in 2004 and worked
form February to April to do the job. It was tough. I didn't get anywhere
till I started using the sander, then paint disappeared like an eraser.
