Stripper

[PabloPicasso]

No not that type! I had enough seeing a discusstion of nudity aboard on this very forum

Chemical paint stripper to ease antifoul removal. Soft erroding antifoul.

What type or brand, and how much for a 30ft hull (fin keel)?

I would use a caustic soda based, solvent free, paint stripper such as Owatrol Marine strip or Owatrol Dilunett. ( but not on aluminium)

See the Tech data sheets for coverage and application details and the safety data sheets for all the usual precautions when using caustic soda based products.

Since you ask specifically for coverage. About 4m² / litre but depends on application method.

Caustic soda - aka Sodium Hydroxide is contained in the SML Strippit product.

No experience yet, but should have some in the next month or so! They sell a "kit" with scraper, plastic sheets etc.

I used stripit by sml, it really works, makes one hell of a mess. You need to tarpaulin under the boat and use full ppe. It dissolves hair really quick! I think I used 2 tubs on 36ft, but it depends on thickness of build up
