[QUOTE="ocbinva, post: 186527, member: 3676"] Well I am near Yorktown, After I retired from the military I settled here to be close to my kids. Well last night I got a quart of paint stripper from walmart. Thought I would try the cheap stuff before I buy the expensive stuff. I tried a 2 foot area and in 15 min about 95% of the paint bubbled off. I can tell they did not use an etching primer. I am hoping this will be the same for the whole boat!! I have to work crazy hours this month but I hope to get at least one hour a day to do a little. Once I get some warm weekends I can do allot more!!! BTW that is the best thing to use to buff out the aluminum prior to paint? ALso when I remove the hollow rivets he used under the water line I was planning on removing his brackets and use new rivet with 5200 to fill the hole. Or does anyone think filling the holes with an aluminum welding stick will work better???? Rick [/QUOTE]
