oops, good job I asked! Oh well, I can while away the long winter nights sanding off layers of black, pink, silver and blue paint Note to previous owner - remove previous coats before repainting! |

i wouldnt, the nitromors will dissolve the foam in the boat with dissasterous consequences, especially if there are any micro cracks where the chemicals can get in.

Although don't sand through to the Kevlar. Really. Just don't.

I would think you'd want to be VERY VERY careful with a heat gun on a laminate. It's OK on a wooden boat as you can see when you start to do damage, but on a laminate? I would probably stick to mechanical abrasion. Get yourself a DA sander and face the fact it'll take a long time and make a lot of noise and dust Neil |

I am currently using a heat gun on my heavily epoxied wooden hull and finding it much more effective than nitromors. I did a little experiment to see which worked best and the heat gun was way more effective - and a lot less messy.
I have no idea about kevlar/carbon though. |

the same, but different...

what effects would it have on a Carbon/Kevlar hull? as i am going to be removing the many layers of paint on my boat very soon while doing a few other things to it.
or would it be better to use a heat gun instead? |
