We're in a tropical environment on a 42 footer, changing from soft to hard bottom
paint; from Sea Hawk to Pettit Trinidad SR. We are aware of the dangers and necessary precautions.To change
paint types it is necessary to take it down to the existing
epoxy. We have only ever sanded old
paint. The yard wants to use
paint stripper in the interest of a 5 day tide widow; it's faster. Any input on stripping will be more than we have and appreciated.
