Antifouling removal

[Cobra25]

We, well, the wife, has started removing the antifouling. I, bought her a scraper and spare blades. She has done almost half our 25' with no mess as the thing fits on to an ordinary vacuum cleaner and takes the rubbish away as you (she) scrapes. Easy to use, quick, clean and environmentally friendly. She has become a distributor for them (Not quite, 'Liked the product so much I bought the company', but a bit!).

If you are talking about this I agree I did my boat last year and found it brilliant.

Sounds like a plug for the wife's latest business venture imho!

without actually saying what it was or what the company is!

 

[Cobra25]

it is wonderful that you have already discovered this marvellous item. When did you tell every one about it?

Re: Anti fouling removal

I purchased one of these scrappers and tried it out this morning, removing approx 5 coats of anti fouling.
Did about 1/2 square metre and stopped, making too many score marks in the Gel Coat, I was using it as per instructions.
Score marks were all across the blade area, approx 8-10 lines per stroke.
Filed the corners of the blade off, but it made no difference.
Did this happen to you? can you suggest what I might be doing wrong.
Thanks

Re: Anti fouling removal - another option

use Removall 610. No scoring, clean hull. Can strip huge boats with an hour of slapping the stuf on, leaveovernight, then jet balsting off.

I was gonna say "better" but if the special product is wassisnames wife turning up and doing the work instead, that seems pretty good.

Re: Anti fouling removal

Check that the blade is not marked, the corners will dig in if you dont round them off other than that I cannot understand why your having problems??
