    Have no experience in this at all.

    But wonder, does it soften at all with heat?

    May be able to make some progress with a heat gun and scraper before sanding.

    Some of the latest heat guns provide very intense localised heat.

    straycat - looked at buying a boat about 2 years ago which had been antifouled - the original owners lived in a canal estate and sat in the water (now you know cheech) and died while overseas - the marine yard talked their son into selling the boat on a trailer

    looked in to the cost and effort involved - there are a number of boatyards that do this sort of work - the ones I spoke to were at Doboy Creek - cost was about $100 per foot of boat - in my case $2000. From memory this didn't included a 2 pack respray of the bottom part of the hull but this part was relatively cheap as the hull would have been already prepared. Didn't go ahead with the purchase as there were other things wrong with the boat and at the end would have cost me nearly the equivalent of a new boat.

    Cheers Sam
    One of the sad signs of our times is that we have demonized those who produce, subsidized those who refuse to produce and canonized those who complain.

    The EPA has some rather strict regualtions regarding this type of work..if sanding you require a containment and filtration device...the penalties if caught are quite expensive.
    I would be paying someone who has the required equipment and premises to carry out these works.
