Coiurtney, I manage a boatyard in Westbrook, Ct. We have shifted over to so=
dablasting and lava blasting from the use of sand. Theses two materials are=
 not abrasive to the hull like sand. Thet both need to be washed with fresh=
 water after being stripped. Hope this helps.

Amidst a refit/refurb of a Frers33 I'm curious if any owners have availed t=
hemselves of this
process rather than any other abrasive removal of surface coatings and if s=

how satisfied are they with the outcome.

Also, what technique, equipment, materials and recommendations can you offe=

I met a gentleman=A0 yesterday who has a number of large older boats that a=
re in various stages of recovery
who indicated that he is using soda blasting but he was rushed and I got no=
 detail.

Thanks,
Courtney
