hi
This is being a real pain, on a ridged fiberglass deck there is some
anti-slip paint that I cant get off even with sanding as this will flatten
the ridges.
GRP safe paint stripper doesnt work either.

I've bought gel type stripper from construction material stores can't
remember the name off the top of my head but it is better than what you get
a lowes or home depot. Place I got it from sells concrete materials and
supplies. It will cut epoxies like nothing i've seen before. runs about
$36 a gallon. The one time I used it and it didn't cut epoxie was when I
tried to strip an old painted shower stall that had what seem to be years of
soap scum on it. It finally got through but took more material and labor
than what it should have. It didn't hurt the fiberglass floor pan either.
good luck |

My trawler was owned by a guy who obviously spent time in the Navy,
everything was painted. Funny thing, the deck looks fine once I remove
the paint.
I had a lot of success with as heat gun and a scraper. Takes lots of time.

Terry,
Sure would appreciate your nailing down the name of this stuff, if
possible.
Cordially,
Courtney

This one is a pain but as a last resort I use abrasive blast.
I start with walnut shell and low pressure to get the best control
and give myself some leeway as it won't eat the fiberglass too fast.
Not fun in any case.
