Antifoul on the boat - how to remove

[Adetheheat]

Splodges of antifoul have ended up on the boat Hull due to me accidentally putting the paintbrush on it.
It looks messy - its blue but the boat is a white colour.
Do I remove it or will it come off itself with water splashing it?
If so how do I remove it? Or do i paint over it - if so what kind of paint ?
Thanks

What sort of antifouling was it?

The antifouling thinner ?
.

Recommended thinners on a rag then wash off with slightly soapy water then fresh water.

Millions easier than it sounds.

International micron 350

Phew, that one will come off, ours does even if you go near it with a sponge. Good stuff though.

Are the topsides gelcoat or painted? If painted you want to go canny with the solvent

Judging by the speed it comes off my hulls, it'll be gone by next week anyway

As said assuming the hull is still original gelcoat then try acetone on a rag. or pain thinners or even very fine wet and dry sand paper. No it will always be visible even though a/f is supposed to wash off. If the hull has been painted. If 23 pack no problem. If one pack then the solvent may soften of remove the hull paint. In which case the can or may have to paint over the a/f. ol'will
