Default Bottom Paint Removal

I need some advise again. I want to remove the 10 plus layers of bottom paint it is so old and dried out it rubs off blue in on your hand, after a day in saltwater yesterday the paint left the driveway blue after a powerwash. I was reading about a product called Removall 610. Has anybody ever used it, and if so how well did it work.......Thanks in advance..........Ted

I'd be anxious to hear what that's all about. my boat was formerly moored/slipped a couple of seasons, the bottom paint isn't that thick,maybe 2 layers, but it is worn out to where you can see the white hull in some places....all in all it makes the whole boat look a bit shabby. [it looks great in the water] I REFUSE to get on my back w/ any sort of sander, let alone by hand, and sand it down...it's just not happenin'

I tried several things. *The more expensive, the less it worked.
Here's the ticket: *BIX (important to get the orange can) from Home Depot. *15 bucks for a gallon with spray bottle. * It will turn that old paint to soft butter in 15 minutes. *Good stuff.

yeah it did but i took a little of the stripper and put it on a wet towel and then wiped it and haze was gone. you may could brush it on thick in small areas and then pressure wash it right off.
