Peel Away 2 stripper??
Nathan
Anyone have any experience with Peel Away Marine Strip II ???
Apparently it works as well as the original version but does not remove the
barrier coat.
Opinions & advice appreciated.
Thanks.

bottle. Does soften the barrier coat, but it hardens again.
I used a plastic scraper and was able to fling the paint/stripper onto a
plastic sheet on the ground.

it. Then when it changed names to System 10, I tried it again and was not
happy.
You might try a cheap quart can of DAD's Paint Remover from Wal-Mart to see
if it accomplishes what you need.
I generally buy a gallon can every time I'm at Wal-Mart just to have it on
hand in case they stop carrying it!
I restore wood boats and am always searching for the most effective remover
combined with the most cost effective, so far DAD's is the best I've found.

picked up a quart of Dad's. Spoiled me. Much faster spraying a section,
moving to the next (2'x2') then going back to the first and flinging the
stuff off.

peel away, also the edges, it works best if kept moist, we used a 4 inch
putty knife to scrape it off while peeling the paper off, cleaned the bottom
of a Hunter 33 in one long day, removing 6 coats of bottom paint at one
time. We failed to wipe the hull down with rags and ended up having to sand
the remaining paint, but that was not too hard, If I do it again, I will
have help to wash the hull with rags and follow with water or thinner to
reduce the work.Best of luck!

We owned a marine Chandlery and had access to almost every type of paint
stripper. I tried Peel Away because it sounded like the best answer - In my
experience, it was quite expensive and did not work that well.
All it seems to be, is a gel type paint stripper formulated for use on
gelcoat (read not that effective). The paper stops the solvent from
evaporating so it will attack the paint rather than pollute the environment.
I found that it left a lot of paint on the boat - ended up using regular
paint remover to finish job and then sanding . Perhaps with some
experience, a technique could be learned to get it to work well, but most of
us use this type of product just once or twice in our lifetimes!
If I were to do another F/G boat, I would use a gel type paint remover like
Interlux Pintoff . Work on about 10 sq. ft. at a time and cover it with
waxed paper while it does it's job. Better still, have it blasted off with
walnut shells or soda.

Do you think using a power washer would speed up the post-strip clean-up??
Thanks

Most definitively ... YES!!!
I removed 2 seasons of antifouling to the gelcoat with a gas powered power
washer at 2500 psi. It took about 15 minutes. I'll be using the same
technique this year.
BTW - turn down the pressure and it will work well on the wood too.

paint contains a lot of nasty stuff.
Nathan
Thats great. Thanks for all the advice.
I'll be sure to take pictures and post the results afterwards.
