Anti foul is next to get removed then compound and polish the GRP.

Can anyone shed some light on what may have caused this staining and is it possible to remove it? Click image for larger version

PS as far as foot wear goes these are the best £17 I have spent yet, warm and comfortable for a day spent on the rib [emoji108]

Looking good. What will you use to get the antifoul off? Looks very similar to mine and I'm trying to work out the best way to shift it.

Ideally I’d like to get it soda blasted but it doesn’t look like the hull was keyed before the anti foul was applied.
That being the case I’ll just try one of the commercially available removers.

Some of it was flaking off when it was power washed. I had been told to try acetone so may give it a go first.
