Antifouling paint needed to be removed from this 54 foot Viking yacht, so that a new layer of antifouling paint could be applied. Many blisters had also developed in the fiberglass gelcoat. These blisters needed to be opened up for repair.
The blue antifouling paint needed to be removed from this 54' Viking yacht.
Dustless Blasting removed the paint with ease.
The surrounding were protected with a simple plastic sheet.
Plastic sheets were simply clamped to the boat.
Because dust is suppressed, they were able to work near the water without bulky containment.
Normally, we recommend blasting fiberglass at about 70 PSI.
However, the main goal of this job was to open blisters in the gelcoat so they could be repaired. Since gelcoat is tougher than the antifouling paint, we kicked the pressure up to 120-135 PSI.
