bottom paint

[Capt. Debbie]

Hi Capt.
If you're trailering the boat, why do you even bother with bottom paint?

With day trips you'll never need it's effects. It's not in the water long enought to need the anti fouling protection.

As such it's simply a waste of money and time.

Most guys dont even sand the orginal gel coat before applying paint, they just wipe the bottom with solvent to remove the factory wax material. If the boat is usually 10-15+ yrs old, nothing is required before paint. Get the paint off safely and hopefully a good buffing is all youll need.

Most paint removers don't want you to let them totally dry. If you do it makes it harder to scrape the dried paint off the hull. which comes off way easier when wet.
