Stripping boat paint, especially bottom
Stripping boat paint, especially bottom paint; Heat Gun? Stripper? sandblasting? Scraping? Chemical Stripper? grinding? This video is about removing old bottom paint from fiberglass boats and sailboats, and what method to use, and why. Stripping boat paint involves the right Power Tools- but which tool to use for a bottom job? ...preparing the bottom of a Sailboat for new antifouling paint or Coppercoat? First, we must remove the bottom paint and do a complete bottom job including new epoxy barrier coat to prep for antifouling.
Patrick shows the power tools and hand tools he uses for maintenance and repairs as he begins the repair and restoration for a new kind of anti foul paint for us, diy. This is a “how to”, tutorial, sailboat restoration project; a do it yourself sailing video about prepping a sailboat for Coppercoat, antifouling, and how to remove bottom paint. It’s not easy to Do, but Patrick shows how to sand off bottom paint, how to remove bottom paint by using heat guns to take the old paint off a fiberglass hull, and why we couldn’t sandblast! Lots of boat work, and repairing the hull of all of these resin blisters.
He also puts the headsail profurl Head stay back on, since it will take a while for sailboat maintenance this time! Sailboat restoration and renovation in Africa!
WARNING: WARNING WARNING Using a heat gun to remove bottom paint is questionable, and you should do research yourself if this is the best method to remove antifouling paint from your sailboat. Damage to underlying gelcoat is a Concern, as is the carcinogenic fumes that are created when bottom paint is heated. When fiberglass is heated, it can do damage. Removal with the lowest possible heat is preferable.
Working with a very helpful local company in Capetown, and Durban, South Africa called ”AMT Composites” (https://www.amtcomposites.co.za), we are now choosing the proper fiberglass and epoxy materials to build the fiberglass layers up again.
Our power tools are being repaired by a local company that fixes our tools almost as fast as we break them: http://www.baypowertools.co.za/
We will get this boat ready for our next Ocean, to continue sailing around the world on our 1976 Valiant 40 sailboat possibly to Brazil and Uruguay, and maybe Tierra Del Fuego! This circumnavigation will be at least 15 years!
We sprayed the boat with a pressure washer to remove the growth, and then thought about which antifoul removal tool we should use, and researched how to remove old antifouling paint. The cost to remove the Bottom paint and for sanding antifouling paint from gelcoat, and then we had to decide on the best sander for removing bottom paint. “Removal easy off” was one chemical paint stripping product, but was not available here, nor were we impressed with it. . The cost to remove bottom paint was a factor too.Why isnt there a special antifoul removal tool that would make it easy? This isn’t the same as how to paint bottom paint a boat for the first time! How to remove antifouling paint, sanding antifouling, soft or hard antifouling, and the best antifouling paint for fiberglass is a consideration. Looking at the Coppercoat data sheet, and studying Coppercoat problems, and not wanting to get involved with recoating Coppercoat anytime soon, we need to remove the antifouling completely! How to remove old antifouling paint can be easy with the right power tools for boat work. Sailing Around the World does need to include working in boatyards to keep the boat Seaworthy!
