2012-09-18 Thread Helen Abbott
Keith says: Safety is a wash. you either have a 13' pole hanging on a line with both ends detached, but unloaded. or you have a 13' pole attached to the mast but the free end moving at a high rate of speed toward your bowman on the pointy end. Neither is inherently safer than the other.

Danny: I haven't done this in a long time since I haven't been sleeping on a boat in a long time but when we did, at night, we would burn a high quality candle (smoke free they claim) set inside a tin can and set the can in the sink (should be safe from accidentally tipping over after a day

Stus-List Antifouling removal

2012-09-06 Thread Helen Abbott
Gary: Don't know if you are familiar with 'dry ice blasting', but with this method, there is no 'toxic runoff'. The only residue with the removal of antifouling paint is the 'actual antifouling paint' which can be contained with a 'drop sheet'. When I had my done, we picked a day with

Don: A pressure washer will not remove an ablative paint. When our boat is hauled every Fall, the bottom is pressure washed by the yard staff and while it might remove a small amount of the paint, it will not remove it so as the gelcoat is showing. I have been using Micron CSC for the past
