What is the condition of your shaft zincs? Are you in fresh water or salt water & do you have the correct zincs for the type of water your boats in? Sounds like you may need a galvanic isolator... Bob Bob Boyer S/V Rainy Days (1983 C Landfall 38 - Hull #230) Blog: dainyrays.blogspot.com

I should point out that the most important component was the turbo spray head.  This allowed lifting the paint without gouging into the gel coat. BTW, it was two *tanks*, not yanks, of gas.  Remember, spell check is your worst enema! Neil Schiller 1983 C 35-3, #028 Whitehall, Michigan WLYC

Re: Stus-List Soda blasting bottoms

My pressure washer is a Briggs and Stratton 2200 psi, 2.2 gpm unit.  If I remember correctly, it only took two full yanks of gas.  This only worked because my yard owner didn't care as long as I put a tarp down.  I'm not at all sure how much runoff I had.  I tried to catch as much as I could.

The last time that I did Corsair (1970 Redwing 35), I used my pressure washer and a turbo nozzle.  Stripped the paint off without affecting the barrier coat.  I put down a tarp to collect the bottom paint (Micron CSC), but the yard didn't really care.  I got the tarp from Harbor Freight and

Re: Stus-List Soda blasting bottoms

Donald when you say “hull”, did you just do the bottom (wetted surface), or did you do the topsides as well? The reason I ask is because I’m contemplating both on my boat this coming offseason, and am trying to do the trade-off about whether to do it myself or hire it out, etc. For me it

Re: Stus-List Soda blasting bottoms

When I purchased Half Magic, it had huge chunks of antifouling paint peeling off with the bare gelcoat (in pristine condition) revealing underneath. My boatyard hired an outside contractor to soda blast and charged me $875 for the service. There was another $2500 in charges for 3 layers of

A boat in our boatyard had their hull soda blasted and it looked like concrete when done. They ended up having to do 3-4 coats of epoxy filler and then fairing the entire hull. I was envious when their boat was stripped in 1 day but then seeing the extra work and sanding required, felt

Charlie, Have no experience with this “yet” but have a similar bottom situation. This past spring I asked the yard manager about it and he estimated if he [the yard] were to do all of work [subcontracting the soda blasting] and supplies the full job would be ~ $7,000. He said the soda

Re: Stus-List Soda blasting bottoms

Charlie, I just finished this process about two weeks ago. Each year because of the flaking I would sand the hull, getting rid of some old buildup, but inevitably the newly applied antifouling paint would flake off more of the old stuff and mess up the paint. I finally had enough, had the

Re: Stus-List Soda blasting bottoms

How bad is the flaking? - My boat also had some flaking paint when we hauled out this spring. It has 4 or 5 coats of bottom paint, then barrier coat, primer, then gel coat. Some of the flaking was down to the barrier coat, but most of it was just bottom paint. The cost and time involved to

well if it didn't even take the shine off the original gel coat, I'd say the barrier coat should be pretty safe. On 8/8/2018 9:47 AM, Matthew L. Wolford via CnC-List wrote: Question: does the soda/walnut shell blasting affect a barrier coat like Interprotect? *From:* Danny Haughey via

I had a yard in Mattapoisett blast the bottom of Rum Runner. They uses walnut shells and I believe they charged me $1000.  Well worth it.  No impact on the gel coat whatsoever.  In fat they commented that the bottom looked as though it just came out of the showroom when they were done. On
