Got on the dry last tuesday and this weekend started scraping the bottom. After having undone a third of the boat of about three layers of a/f and primer i decided to check if it was one or two component, so i applied normal paint stripper. Guess what? The whole layer came off in three applications right back to the bare gelcoat. Even when applied directly on the (hard International) A/F that came of as well.
As i will coat with epoxy afterwards i'm not to worried about the gelcoat being affected but it seemed ok.
I have ordered a large quantity of the stuff and continue on the stripper path. It will probably take more time but far less elbow grease.
