That aviation paint stripper is really amazing. Put on one coat, pressure washed, put on another coat, pressure washed....bottom paint gone. Started at 5:42, done at 7:19

Glad it worked! I might get another gallon of aviation stripper and rent a pressure washer this weekend.

I wish I was having that luck. I put on the stripper, let it sit 10 minutes, and pressure washed it, repeated, and barely made a dent. I'm not sure if I just have more layers or I need to let it sit longer.

I'm gonna try again tomorrow morning and then its gonna be time to look like a smurf with my palm sander.

Sounds like this months site project is stripping bottom paint. I have my hull flipped over and it is still a real *****. I've gone through (50) 80 grit disks and now up to (10) 50 grit and still am not half-way done after around 8 hours.

I couldn't imagine doing this work on my back.

I'll be making my way to West Marine this week and Neff shortly thereafter.
