Preparing a hull for painting can be one of a boater's toughest jobs.
Traditional power washing is not effective against removing bilge oil
film, old paint and blisters. Rougher methods like sanding and
chemical treatments can destroy the boat's thin gel coat. Soda
blasting the surface removes multiple layers of old paint and opens up
blisters for repair in a fraction of the time.
Soda
blasting directs a high pressure stream of soda at the hull using
compressed air. Every care is taken not to affect the immediate
surroundings by carefully tenting off the area being blasted. All
contaminants removed by the soda blasting process are safely contained
and disposed of appropriately.
Benefits include:
• Removes layers of old paint in a fraction of the time of traditional methods
• Removes bilge oil film, old paint and exposes blisters
• Is mobile and can move from boat to boat, yard to yard
• Does not penetrate the protective gel coat
• Ensures hull retains ‘no drag' due to multiple layers of paint being removed
• Environmentally safe using little or no water
• Removes layers of old paint in a fraction of the time of traditional methods
