FAQs
How long does Peelaway Marine Antifouling Remover take to work?
The working time can vary depending on the thickness and type of antifouling, as well as ambient temperature and humidity. Typically, it requires 24-48 hours of contact time, but always refer to the product's specific instructions and conduct a test patch.
Can I use this on a trailerable boat hull?
Yes, it is suitable for most hull types including GRP (fiberglass), wood, steel, and concrete. Ensure you test on a small area first.
What is the poultice blanket for?
The poultice blanket is a specialized material supplied with the product. It helps to keep the paste active by preventing it from drying out too quickly and provides a surface to help peel away the softened paint and product in one piece.
How do I dispose of the removed paint and product?
Dispose of the collected waste material responsibly in accordance with local environmental regulations. The contained nature of the peel-away system helps minimize dockside contamination.
Can I apply this product with a roller?
The product is best applied with a brush, trowel, or an airless sprayer for larger areas. A roller is generally not recommended due to the paste consistency and the need for even, thick coverage.
Is this product safe for all types of boats?
It is suitable for GRP, wood, steel, and concrete hulls. However, always perform a test patch on an inconspicuous area to ensure compatibility with your specific hull material and any existing coatings.
Troubleshooting
Product appears to be drying out too quickly.
Ensure the poultice blanket is applied correctly and is in full contact with the product. Check for drafts or excessive heat in the application area.
Antifouling paint is not lifting effectively.
The product may require a longer dwell time for very thick or stubborn layers. Ensure the product was applied thickly enough. Re-apply to a small section if necessary.
Residue left on the hull after removal.
Wipe down the surface with a damp cloth or sponge. If stubborn residue remains, a light sanding may be required.
