Prepping the Sealine S24 for Antifouling - Her indoors loves it

[Bigplumbs]

Well up till now the weather in the UK has not played ball to assist in much boat prepping for the season ahead. We did get a decent day on monday so off we went to Norfolk to prepare the Sealine S24 ready for antifoul. We like to do the prep on one day then the actual antifoul another day. Doing it this way I feel aids with doing a better job. Short video below of the prep. Her indoors got stuck in as usual

Her indoors even got a free hair colouring into the bargain. What a saving

Do you think you should do your PB2 with all those scratches on the stern.

See you kept clearing off for a coffee & bacon sarnie

Sshhh Dont tell her she never noticed

Her indoors got some free hair colouring streaks when she helped to rub down the old Antifoul on the Sealine S24 the other day..... For some reason she did not seem grateful

Please wear a mask and eye protection. I know you’re doing it wet but nasty stuff in the wrong places….like eyes and lungs

I take you point but I had glasses on and that is why it is important to do it wet...... It is indeed very nasty stuff

My D-in-L. paid good money for that look!

I would be worried more about the colour in her lungs!

Well if you look at the very short video linked below You will see that we sanded it wet especially for that and other reasons

Sorry but not possible to breath it in if it is soaking wet as it was........ Have you ever done it your self or do you just pay it done ?

She’s got quite a lot on her skin too. Send her off for a long shower.

Not sure she appreciates being sent too many places but this was carried out 3 days ago so I think she might have had a bath by now but cant be sure

Hmm, and did you assess where the ablated antifouling went to ? It looks as if there's a slip nearby.

 

[viago]

my experience of modern antifouls leads me to believe there's very little in it to be of danger to any life form.

it could be called grow-more.

what you need is the warship antifoul from the dockyard but it's hard to get hold of. i haven't had any since bogey knights stopped selling it some years ago.

the yard keeps a tight watch on it these days.

Seriousy. Antifouling contains toxins that can be absorbed through the skin and full PPE should be warn. Your wife's face and hair appear to be covered in it, You may wish to do further homework on the safety side.

I understand. We had to do that on our Dragonfly in 2021. Ghastly business. Luckily it was summer, and we could swim in the river afterwards.

All done but thanks for the concern. You never answered my question however
