I had no problems with the gel coat. It was amazing, the boat was perfect, absolute mirror finish gelcoat - just like it came out of the factory.
There is one that will not take off the barrier coat. I will get the numbers for you.

Based on info that David Bows and a friend of his provided, Peel Away 7 is roughly equivalent to the Peel Away Marine Safety Strip (compare the Material Safety Data Sheets). I tried dealing with the local Home Depot and they did not have the 5 gallon buckets, only 1 gallon @ $63.97/gal. They offered to discount it by 10%. I looked on the web and located: Castle Wholesalers, Inc. 3450 Bladensburg Road Brentwood, MD 20722 http://www.castlewholesalers.com They sell it at $44.86/gal plus shipping. 6 gallons shipped from them was $60 less expensive than Home Depot when tax was added. So I'm looking out the window at the sleet coming down and have ordered 6 gallons on line. Hopefully when this arrives, the weather will cooperate and allow me to strip the bottom!

My yard recommended using the West System yellow foam rollers normally used for epoxy. I've had nothing but good luck with them. Ryan Pierce Tesara, #337
