I tried a new way to get ride of bottom paint. It is called Peel Away. It comes in a bucket and you spread it on your boat like peanutbutter, then apply a paper backing. 24 hours latter you just peel off the backing and the pain comes off with it. I tried a small area and it worked great. However under the hull was a different story. The stuff is highly alkaline and was dropping all over me. They should call it peel you skin away. No kidding it burned like an acid bath. This could be good for sailors or those of you that can turn there boat over. Other than that stick to the sander. I gotta go take a shower before my face falls off.
