Firefly-C is in fresh water. We sand for smoothness and touch up. Not a
full cover every season.

Do you need a complete bottom job?Each time I repaint the bottom, I wet sand
with the sanding sponge, let it dry a day or two and put the same, or
compatible, bottom paint on.Don't need to get to bare bottom unless changing
paints or if it's so thick that lots of chunks come off.RonWild CheriC
I used Soy Strip on my 27. Multiple applications for multiple layers
(10-plus) of anti-foul. Messy!! But I could not fathom sanding that all
off! There was still quite a bit of sanding after and then barrier coat.
That, along with all new through hulls, fix about a dozen blisters, pull

Two things I don't do: replace a shingle roof and a bottom job. Gladly pay
someone else to do those.

Hi Chris, I would consider a soda blasting job on my boat, also in Vancouver.
If you find someone to do it let me know as I, too, am tired of sanding. I
would only consider doing the bottom in the spring while hoping for dry
weather.

Interesting discussion. I've sanded the bottom of my 35-1 every year
for the past 8 years, probably has 40 yrs of old bottom paint on it some
of which still lifts up after sanding it smooth when I put the new paint
on. I've got all the gear, full face mask and suit, can do the whole
bottom

Chris,
They say a good soda-blasting should be done every ten to fifteen years, which
would then require a new barrier coating and all new bottom paint — That ran me
around $2,500 a few years ago.
That being said, there are plenty of boat owners who never do it at all. If you
just have some
This is a two part query about doing the bottom of a sailboat by a first-timer.
The high pressure spray that removed the previous saltwater growth of 1.5 years
(during the survey in July) also removed part of the protective coat of
anti-fouling that was left. I thought I would get around to
10 matches
