Firefly-C is in fresh water. We sand for smoothness and touch up. Not a full cover every season. Sent from my iPhone On Oct 23, 2017, at 12:07 PM, Ronald B. Frerker via CnC-List > wrote: Do you need a complete bottom job? Each time I repaint

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 shaft, new

Two things I don't do: replace a shingle roof and a bottom job. Gladly pay someone else to do those. Dennis C. On Fri, Oct 20, 2017 at 2:45 PM, Chris Hobson via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > This is a two part query about doing the bottom of a sailboat by a > first-timer. > > The

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. Al Liles SV Elendil C/40+ Vancouver > On Oct 20, 2017,

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
