antifoul paint remover

Re RemovAll 620

I have decided to remove my existing antifoul and start again. I have been on-line and found a product by CIRRUS called REMOVALL 620. It looks to be good stuff,and will be expensive (£119 for 20 litres) Has anyone tried it, is it any good, or is there another product which is recommended. My intention is to do away with the bit of white hull between the antifoul and blue hull band, and antifoul upto it and put on a new coveline (Rinker now do similar to this as an option and it looks smart).
Boat is moored on the Exe and I have been told Blakes hard racing is a good choice, plus it is burnishable. Any comments? I also need coveline in yellow 30mm wide. Can someone recommend a supplier please.

See my post in: Dilunett Gel - where can you buy large tubs? re RemovAll 620

I watched a boat owner use Nitromores Paint Stripper to take off anti-fouling. He would put it on a small area, ie a brush stroke, and take it off immediately with a scraper, then wipe the area with a piece of kitchen roll with thinners, so the gel coat was not damaged. And it worked.Bit messy but cheap. PS. He had a bodyshop and worked with fiberglass all day.

Did Jedi with a scraper from Compass, one of those to which you can attach a vacuum cleaner (the old Vax came into its own) Minimal mess and a pretty good job followed by suiting up, S10 and some time with the belt sander. Time to do it again now so I'll advise how well it lasted in a month or so.
