Soda Blasting Service
QUICK PAINT REMOVAL FOR HULLS - OUTDRIVES - AUTOS- AUTO PARTS - FARM MACHINERY etc
What's under your bottom paint?
Bottom paints hide a lot; We've seen it! It covers previous repairs, osmotic blisters,cracks and other typs of hull damage. I have seen many bottom paints that have not been properly applied - flaking off and exposing a hull to water absorbtion and eventually potential osmotic blisters and hull failure. Heavy amounts of bottom paint on a boat weighs alot and will slow it down cutting fuel efficiency.
Our Soda Blasting is the best Bottom Paint Removal system. It is Safe, Clean & Environmentally friendly! During the bottom paint removal process we can professionally access the condition of your hull. We do more than just soda blast the paint off, we get to see every square inch of it! We can offer the best advise on how to keep your hull in great condition. With over 40 years experience we know how to correctly perform any type of fiberglass repairs if needed!
Please note -After the hull is soda blasted it must be prepped correctly for the best epoxy barrier coat adhesion. Soda blasting alone will not prep a boat for epoxy barrier or bottom paint. It must be sanded with the proper grit sand paper. Epoxy Barrier is a primer for bottom paint and provides the best protection against water intrution and the development of osmotic blistering. We highly recommend epoxy barrier on all hulls that are kept in the water all season.
