Bottom Job Paint Removal , Sanding and Painting Your Boat: How to Step by Step on a Sailboat, 2024

what does 0.6 mean ?

How much money sand and paint bottom like that can you please tell me

this didnt discuss how to lay a waterline, at all. what do you paint the bottom paint to? do you cut it short of the waterline so its all on bare metal, or, do you paint the waterline above the waterline over where the above-waterline paint is? what's best long term?

Super helpful seeing it done. I’m doing mine this week and this was super directive for me.

Great video. Thanks for all the great information! A few other paints I've seen recommended are SeaHawk Cukote, Interlux Micron CF and Interlux Micron CSC.

Seem to be holding up decent? Going thru this right now.. debating primer on entire hull versus just primer on needed spaces where white is showing....fantastic vid.... so many others that are lacking proper procedure for this important evolution. Thanks!

What would be the time factor to splash after painting?

What about the stands?? Did you move them after each coat of primer? Or how was the approach?

FYI , you can still buy it for a while in many places , but Micron 66 is being discontinued by Interlux. So, if you can’t get it at some point I recommend Micron Extra SPC. Best of Luck !

Great video.
We decided to scrape off the old anti fouling and ended up in some parts on white and other parts grey. I assume the white is the epoxy coat and the grey an old primer (it came off with a lot of aceton). Question is now: do we sand off the grey part? We bought 2 part epoxy primer and the shop guy advised us to make sure to remove it all if using 2 part, as it could react with the previous paint. However if we use 1 part primer, we can just apply it on top of any 1 part or 2 part product… any advice? do we continue with the tough job we started scraping everything off or do we just apply the 1 part primer?
Thanks in advance for replies!

Great video, had some information that was exactly what I was looking for. Very informative and these types of videos are sometimes hard to find.

Best video I've seen on bottom painting, and dudes, I've watched shittons of videos on this subject. I need to repaint the rest of my boat and I want it to be shiny like yours. Do you have a video for that?

Curious why the layer of Green Antifouling then Red? Why not multiple coats of Red? Is it to know when to re-coat? Thanks!

First and foremost, great video! I know it is not easy to film and do all the things you are doing that the same time. I appreciate the details on the steps, in particular I am concerned of going to deep sanding and destroying the gel coat...I just don't know how easy or hard it is to damage the gel coat. My only suggestion to improve your video (which is VERY GOOD already) would be to provide more detail on the blasting. I realize that may be a video in and of itself. I have a lot of questions about blasting. First you have to ask will my marina even let us blast? I do not believe mine will. They will let a professional company do it, but I do not believe they will let me do it myself. I got an estimate for my Hunter 44 and they want $2400. My yard gave me the name of a guy and said last year for a boat our size he charged about $1400; Our friend inflation has taken care of that for us I guess. I can't do $2400.

There are so many other considerations with the blasting: dry or wet, type media; I was told to go w/ soda blasting but I've seen dustless blasting that uses water but works in a way that you don't get large pools of water or runoff. Is soda blasting and ductless the same? Other considerations, tenting to keep other boats clean and contain what comes off your boat, collection and disposal of what comes off your boat. So many concerns and questions on the blasting alone. I think the material collection is why our marina won't let us do it. I think they are concerned our collection and disposal efforts wouldn't comply with Maryland Clean Marina requirements...but I just don't know. These are just some of my concerns in doing this! If you have any comments that might help, I'll take any info I can get. Again, thanks so much for putting yourself out there and providing all the info you have. Take care and have a great season...beautiful boat by. the way!

Great job.. Thanks for posting

Thanks, super helpful ... Keep it up

This is a really great video. Thanks for taking the time to explain everything so simply. I looked through ten or so other bottom job videos before this one and I wish I hadn’t wasted my time. This video is all you need ! Question: the micron 66 is just for saltwater correct? Thanks again !
