Hi David knecht I went on messenger look up magic antifoul His cell 843 696-6404 He gave me magic prop to try I haven’t put it on yet Sv Delos tried it it seem it came off pretty quick For the other I used a wood scraper to take off the ablative paint Much faster than sanding, just be careful not to make holes And finish with 80 grit with round sander And Fiberglass wash
