Nitromors

This is a question from someone who owns an old and trusty Searider.

The hull of the boat has been painted in allsorts over the years. I've nearly got all the paint off the transom using removeall, a propietary boat paint stripper, but am struggling with the rest of the hull.

I've managed to get two layers of paint off the hull and a layer of something else off, but now I'm flagging and knackered.

Removeall just doesn't seem strong enough to remove the paint thats left.

Can any one tell if Nitromors can be used on a Searider. The boats seem to be indestructable.

If nobody knows the answer can you please tell me. If not we have some buildings at work that seem to be made from GRP. Guess I might do a sneaky trial on them.

Regards Nick R.

Codprawn,

Bingo.

Thats what I was going to do. Put some on and keep a hose pipe handy to wash the stuff off as soon as its done its job.

Cheers Mate.

Thats the wonder of the WWW.
