Default Re: bottom paint removal

Catman,
If you don't have a lot of paint buildup already, you can go right over the existing paint (assuming you're using the same type). A few seasons ago, we stripped my father's SC with Stripeez (sp?), a paint remover meant for wood. It worked really well, but don't let direct sunlight hit it while it's on the hull, it will soften the gel coat!! It happened to us - a 1" square section at the water line got hit with sunlight and the gel coat got a little goopy. Luckily we caught it in time to prevent any real damage.
