A while back there was a post on the forum about soda blasting the bottom paint off.

Our Club won't allow sand blasting but is considering the soda option, I have one problem - - I don't haven't found anyone that does it. Any ideas?

Thanks Don...

That's what happens when you start your phrase "I don't know of anyone in the area" and then backspace while still formulating your sentence and finish with "I haven't found...."

Incidently - I still ain't gots nobody to do it!

Soda Blasting . . .

Isn't that a Three Stooges routine?

Talk to the guys that do auto restoration. Or ask your regular sand blaster about blasting media (plastic or walnut shell). Be aware of the fall out, toxic paint dust and metal dust, I would move the boat to the blast area rather than bring the blaster to the boat. Otherwise the blasted media will have you on TV as a polluter. Dave

It would be wet blasted, so the fallout would be minimal. From what I've read, they tent off the entire area.... I've all but given up on the blasting. Anybody who wants is more than welcome to bring their own sander (we'll supply the paper) to Edgewater Yacht club on Saturday.

We were all set to be on track for a May14th splash, with a day or two to spare...that is until we got 13 inches of snow last weekend.....

Sand, repair blisters, 4 coats of 2000 E interlux barrier, and a couple of coats of VC and were ready.
