  • Guys here is a video of me removing paint from a gelcoat boat. Keep in mind this should always be tested before any actual work is done. it's a long video but I think if you need to remove paint from your fiberglass gelcoat boat it should be helpful.
    I restore rigid inflatable boats down in Miami my website is luxuryribtenders.com and my email is luxuryribtenders@gmail.Com

    Good topic with excellent example to work on. The video would be 1000% better with more work and less erroneous comments. The wire brush was pretty cringe worthy.

    Excellent video. Watched the whole thing. I acquired the old gel-coated fiberglass bench seats from a local bowling alley. Sometime in the 80's they decided to paint them a neutral modern color, covering the vintage 40's/50's blue. I've been looking into ways of removing the paint without damaging the gelcoat and have tried a professional media-blasting service to test with plastic particulates but it damaged the test area. This looks like a way to do it without damaging the gelcoat but still seems time-consuming and I'm not terribly fond of the chemicals. I will do more research and share what I come up with. Great job!

      Mark Siegel you know I wouldn't buy a sinkable boat. That's for a client of mine who I had done a retube job on his Nautica. I'm doing this regular boat and then going back to ribs once I'm done.

    Alfred, first of I love your channel. Thinking about trying to do a west coast version of Chit Show lol. Anyways, I'm wanting to remove the anti fouling paint from the bottom of my skiff and doing gel coat for a smoother finish. Is there any advice or information that you can provide me for doing this? Ie; preparation, what products to use. Anything will help me please? Also can you high five Fred for me next time you see him. Gracias bro.

    Can you use aceton on an inflateble boat?

    • @AlfredMontaner
      @AlfredMontaner  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      We mix acetone and toluene all the time. always do a small test in the underlying area to make sure everything is okay. Darker colors usually have some discoloring sometimes

    🦘🦘🦘🦘 ... I found this GREAT IDEA on another site & want to share it if anyone has this same problem & how to fix it. I had a terracotta pot with a wonderful indented fancy pattern etched into it when it was made, around the top & bottom sections of the sides of the pot. It had been well painted with thick black paint then sprayed over with a tough shiny, hard, silver paint over the black, but ONLY on one side of the pot!! I wanted to strip the paint to return it to pure terracotta again & fully preserve the pattern. ................ I read that full strength 🌿🦘EUCALYPTUS OIL🦘🌿 dissolves paint. I found a 50ml bottle in my cupboard & used an old toothbrush to brush in & massage into the paint: small amounts of pure Euc oil. I let it work into the paint, scrubbing it in. Soon the top silver layer dissolved away so I dripped on more oil & used old tooth brush to scrub into the black paint within the intricate etched pattern. Soon the black paint turned to tar like substance as it softened & mixed with Euc oil. I used a small wire brush & a few squirts of WD40 to scrub away the softened tar like thick black paint. WD40 will not work by itself on paint, only use to remove the tar like paint after Euc oil works. It does not take a lot of Euc Oil, use sparingly drop by drop. Clean brushes of build up if needed, with turpentine or WD40 & rub with old rag. Worked well. Used an angle grinder scrub pad on large smooth portion of pot. Wiped it with a good smear of Euc oil & left to soften, then used angle grinder with pad & it came off in one buzz. Cheers.
