I'm having mine done in Plymouth, does that help?

I assume that you want this to remove the antifouling. If so, the alternative is http://www.bcaviation.co.uk/paint_stripper/marine_paint_stripper.htm
The sandblast will undoubtedly damage the gelcoat to some extent, not a problem if this is the precursor to some form of treatment, but not good news if you just want to remove the antifoul for some reason.

Yep. Blasting hell out of the gell coat is not advisory IMHO. I would have thought it much better to sand the anti fouling back to smooth and recover again from there.

Have you ever tried sanding the stuff, it's almost impossible as well as being a filthy dirty horrible carcinogenic piss awful job!

Anyway you're only jealous cos my boat fits in the yard where yours won't!!!

Yep, still diving. James has hardly used the gear, seems a waste, but hopefully he'll get into it soon.

I think you want "slurry" blasting not sandblasting.

Makes the hard work of scraping and sanding a thing of the past and does not damage gel coat.
They can take off one coat at a time with some of the outfits.
Talk to a few.

Look in the back of Boats and Yachts, MBM and MB&Y.
