Let The Stripping Begin

22 Dec 23:

3-4 coats of good, but old, paint on HENNING. There is evidence of a previous scraping attempt, so the paint surface is uneven in many areas, completely worn in others and in good shape on some of the wood. So the decision has been made to "wood" the boat, IOW get as much paint off as we can.

TotalBoat sent us some stripper to try, the gel will encapsulate the old paint as we remove it with scrapers.




This Helix mixer worked great and cleaned up easily.


We tried many scrapers, but these Allway and Titan scrapers have stood out as the best. The little right angle pick also comes in handy. 


The first application removed the paint in the section where the scrapers are.



Scraper lessons available for a small fee. Materials included.
