Old antifouling paint builds up and traps moisture against the hull. 1NSG Blast strips bottom paint and preps hulls with wet abrasive blasting, which removes the buildup cleanly and gets the hull ready for a fresh barrier coat and antifouling system.

FAQ

Can you strip bottom paint down to gelcoat? Yes, we can take it to a clean gelcoat surface ready for a new barrier coat, and dial the process to protect the gelcoat.

Do you work at the marina? Yes, we are mobile and set up at marinas, yards, and private docks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you remove bottom paint without damaging gelcoat?

Yes, with the correct media and pressure. The goal is removing antifouling and old barrier coat while leaving sound gelcoat intact, which requires control rather than aggression.

Where does the work happen?

At the yard or marina where the vessel is hauled. We coordinate with the facility on containment and their environmental requirements.

How soon should the barrier coat go on?

Promptly after blasting. A clean, profiled hull left exposed picks up contamination, so we schedule blasting and coating close together.
