One of the most environmentally damaging aspects of traditional boating maintenance involves the periodic need to apply anti-fouling paint to your vessel's hull. The first step in this process usually involves removing the old paint. Various methods have been used to accomplish this task, and until recently they all had a very negative environmental impact. Sanding and sandblasting are one of the most widely used techniques to remove old bottom paint. This technique almost always produces a toxic cloud that is difficult to keep from drifting into the nearby waterways, and of course the atmosphere. Heat guns have been used with varying degrees of success, however, heating a substance like paint to the melting point produces all sorts of noxious fumes. Applying chemical compounds designed to weaken and dissolve paint so it can later be scraped off is another frequently used means of removing old paint. Needless to say, these traditional strippers were designed with very little thought to how they would affect the environment. The active ingredient in most of them is methylene chloride, a known carcinogen. Using good old fashioned ingenuity, however, a group of folks have harnessed compounds crafted by Mother Nature to create a product that works as well or better than the toxic, synthetic versions. Made in America by the good people at Franmar, Soy Strip Marine Coating Remover is a soybean-based liquid that does a nasty job with ease.
