slurry blast ??

[derekh]

I am considering antifouling with copper coat. I phoned them and a very helpfull gent suggested old antifoul be removed by slurry blasting. No one is going to fire s@'t at my wee precious boat. can someone tell me what slurry blasting is ??

thanks

You need to speak to LJS his boat has been covered in s**t for years.../forums/images/icons/laugh.gif Anyway he's just had it slurry blasted so might be able to give the definitive answer as to the particular type of s**t!!

I know a few people on here who could perhaps talk to it, to see if it falls off /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif maybe that would be a bit less messy, or has it got to be physical stuff /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

Thanks hlb, most of it's come from your engines.

Slurry is like a wet sand blast to remove old antifoul and/or gel coat. Take a look <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.symblast.com/>here</A>

Hi Derek - I had it done on my boat last year as the patchy antifouling was looking a complete mess and we were going from 6 months/ 6 months out to 12 months in so we wanted to epoxy first. Its expensive to slurry blast but we tried scraping, chemicals etc and it was just too time consuming

It's no good typing Dom, you need to speak to it /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif
