We were a formerly happy couple trying to get the boat damage repaired after Charlie. Things were spinning along pretty well til we did the outside sanding to remove the "done in the islands" bottom paint. We felt proud empowered doing the inside fiberglass but this paint is soooooooooo hard to grind off. We first tried a 80 grit and an orbital but we would have died before we finished. The belt sandwer would have put a hole through the boat. Have any of you any ideas-we need to put a two part barrier paint on and as we sand we sometimes find a peasize blister so we grind those down as we go. The stands pushed in slightly on one side due to the winds in the storm reversing so the boat slid to the side and the fiberglass popped back out. So the inside is fixed but the bottom seems to be unending. Is this normal or are we just woozes? PS What about the new bottompaints they advertise. We have the usual blue from West. Thanks for any ideas or comments--remember we're nearly suicidal so please be kind.
