I had some painting on my old boat and I used Laquir Thinner on it. Worked good getting the paint off but there was always a stain in that area. Not to bad but, you always new something was there.
I have heard that after you remove it you can sand the hull with like 600 or 800 grit paper to get rid of stain and finish it off with a good waxing?
Let me no how you make out.

I want to remove all the bottom paint off my boat!! I was reading a thread on the Hull Truth of a guy who did it and it looks Great but lots of work!!

I just do a search for free avatars and save the ones I like. I have a ton of them.
When you find one save to you puter then upload to that free photo hosting place I posted then all you have to do is link it to your profile and you will have it for your avatar
