removing 5200

Post by galleywench »

Is there any easy way (relatively speaking) to remove 5200? I've been using a cabinet scraper and a razor blade and it is getting old.

Wire wheel on an angle grinder works well.

I have had great success with this product;

http://www.marineformula.com/

It isn't cheap ($20.00 a can) but a little goes a long way, just apply and let it do the work. Will not damage gel coat. I removed all the portlights on a couple of boats with Marine Formula and had enough left over from one aerosal can to help out some other folks with their recalcitrant 5200.

Hope this helps,
Tom
