Blasting by a professional - they usually use walnut shells or the like. Tent the bottom, blast away, clean it all up. Typical cost for a 34 footer is about $1200. Well worth it because it takes them a day to do it and how long will it take you and what will you have to pay your chiropractor?? Gelcoat is usually untouched. You do a light sanding. Strongly suggest you do a barrier coat treatment at this time. Apply paint. Go sailing
John and Maryann Legacy III 1982 C&C 34 Noank, CT -----Original Message----- From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Brian Morrison Sent: Monday, March 24, 2014 9:19 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List Bottom Paint Question The weather has finally broken here in lovely Baltimore and it's time to paint the bottom. The staff at the boatyard told me that the previous owner had baltaplate paint and then painted over it with a different type of paint. The paint is peeling in some areas and they suggest sanding down to the gelcoat and starting fresh. To do this will be costly or very time and labor intensive on my part. So my question is can I avoid the cost or labor using some other method I may not be aware of? I really hope there is a viable alternative. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Brian C.
