Well Keys, my warm weathered friend, I do apologize for the performance of the Soy Stripper. In defense of the product (having been in the trenches with it for several years)I believe that you may have allowed it to remain on the surface unsupervised for too long and therefore it went 180 softening the paint (as you found in some areas) BUT then allowed the paint to return to its hardened state integrated with the (then likely) hardened Soy Stripper. I can relate and it is a bummer to return expecting to find "mush" and instead your looking for the # of Miami Soda Blasters ( btw I have their # if you need it).

Guys and girls and fellow Classic Seacraft owners, I started this business to bring solutions to nuisances that we all have had either no solution or only the use of really harsh chemicals would do, to our industry. The Soy Stripper has had many happy endings and far fewer unhappy. I only wish I could have have assisted you in getting the results you wanted. Honestly, if some of the paint scraped off to the gelcoat - why not all of it - right?

So....

At this point I am putting the "ball" in your court. I want to retain respect from you and your fellow Classic Sea Craft Club members. You tell me what you would like to me to do. Urgency is upon us as I am off to the "temperate zone" of SW & SE Florida Sunday morning for final testing of an absolute breakthrough in the restoration and preservation of even our most tired gelcoat. And I want to share this new chemistry with YOU ALL without a "black eye" from the Soy Stripper.

Please respond tonight or Saturday as my warehouse will be closed for inventory for the week-actually with the testing comes some sportfishing with the staff - great times and a good "January Thaw" for us yanks.

Standing by...

Captain John
