need advice on stripping hull

[ww29]

what is best way to strip paint off sgx..any help is very greatfull

If it is a wooden hull I would try some paint and varnish remover to soften the paint or and then carefully scrape it off with a putty knife and then let it dry real well and sand it down.If it is a plastic or abs cowl then you need to sand from the beginning.

get paint striper for fiberglass so it wont hurt the epoxy coat on the hull.

Go with Aircraft stripper from your local auto parts store, it will soften almost any paint, strip off with a plastic putty

knife or credit card. A couple applications will get you to bare wood.

USE SANDPAPER....

 

[misshydro]

not good it will stip off the epoxy coat=can make the wood pop apart where its glued at. If you use striper on it use the one made for fiberglass. There a rattle can version of it.. or use razor blade or get the sander out and sand it down with 180 or 220.

I understand Miss Hydro...I only put it out here to show what mark voorhies was talking about...I do not use chemicals...I use the old school way...a metal block hand sander...it only takes an hour or two to sand a outrigger down...been doing it for years & use a putty knife to scrap the paint off the cowl ...look at the money you save...just with sandpaper & a putty knife.

Hello everybody .

Some years ago , at a local Tech College doing a Journeyman / Hobby Spray Painting we were shown by the teacher a method of removing paint from timber using a blow torch with a broader and soft flame than a oxy / acetylene torch . It soften most of the paint which was then scraped and sanded to the desired finish . There should be a description in a paint refinishing book that covers material other than steel . Hopefully this helps with your enquiries .
