No easy way
I tried the stripper...Big messy job, goo and glopp everywhere. The stripper bubbled and loosened the first coat and maybe a bit of the second. (IT DID NOT JUST PEEL AWAY!), and yes I followed the directions, covering it with plastic and all).
The stuff was very expensive and I was disappointed. (Maybe I was hoping for a miracle). Other folks, I guess have had better luck, but my luck ran out along with the stripper.
Well, to be honest my boat is vintage 1974 and probably never been stripped bare. I spent at least two full days grinding away with 36 grit disc and a variety of other nasty measures including a heat gun and scrapers. (I seriously considered a sand blaster, blow torch and dynamite). I never did get it completely bare but I did get all the loose paint off and feathered the rest. I am kind-of a perfectionist and so it was hard for me to admit defeat but this was like trying to shovel all the sand off the beach.
Someone else (I know), is going to write-in and say how easy it would have been if I had only used Zip-off instead of Zap-off.
Well...I say, shove-off, there ain't no easy way.
