Has anyone used PeterG's antifoul stripper?
It comes from a WA company

www.petergs.com.au/products/marine/stripper-anti-fouling/

I was hoping to use soda blast to remove antifoul back to the gelcoat but the hardstand Marina I use won't allow it's use, so I'm looking at alternatives to remove antifoul.

Not keen on sanding or scraping the antifoul off.

The burns would be due to the product being 25% Sodium Hydroxide ( caustic soda )

The manufacturer said it won't affect the gelcoat.

My research indicates epoxy resin has a good resistance to sodium hydroxide up to 50% of the solution. So the gelcoat should be safe at 25%

My previous boat had a fair bit of anti foul build up on it where as on the current one (actually older than the previous one) i can just about pressure clean it back to a white hull as the previous owner (deceased) son told me at the time of survey that his father used to sand it right back each time he slipped it

The photo below was taken when it was slipped for the survey and after a pressure clean there was a lot of white showing and not a lot of fouling considering it has been in the water for 18 months

When i did it in April i only put one coat on and i intend to slip it in December and see how much growth is on it and give it a pressure clean off

One of the local boat builders here says one coat is enough in the cool Tassie waters so it will be interesting to see how it looks

It is nice to have a smooth hull surface to work with when slipping it but time will tell whether i am doing the right thing
