stripping anti foul paint with?

[Huron Blue]

Is there a chemical that works good for stripping anti foul paint? The person I bought the boat from used sandpaper and got most of it off but I'm reluctant to continue sanding I don't want to get into the gel coat I'd prefer chemical stripping at this point but don't want to damage the gel coat. Any suggestions or is any paint stripper okay? Thanks

I would get the bottom soda blasted, then just put a new coat of good bottom paint and be done! thats if your going to keep it on a trailer?

Just go to finer and finer sand paper as you start seeing hull color.... You're gonna have to sand out the scratches anyhow.... An orbital sander is your friend..... Personally I'm just gonna try to just rough mine up and recoat w bottom paint in white.... IF it will cover the black that is

I used peel away on the transom of my boat. One application took off about half of the paint. I still have to do another coat. I'm not sure how well it's going to work yet.

yea guess that's what I'll end up doing. My back hurts just thinking about it. I'm gonna go over it with this in clear just to protect and smooth it out. http://www.bottompaintstore.com/revo...t-p-12343.html

Okay I got sarandwrap and cleaner but I'm little fuzzy on your short hand. Maybe I should have a few and it would make sense ha
