I am having a hard time wrapping my head around a "coal tar bottom paint".
Never heard of it.

I think this might mean coal tar epoxy barrier coat, which is nice until it
starts coming off ☹

I don't know about "coal tar" per se, but as the name suggests it is
probably a thick, gooey black substance you could apply to the bottom as a
barrier coat. VC used to make a product called VC Tar. I used it once and
found it too difficult to work with. Go with regular barrier coat, like

Dave,
Is it possible you are trying to remove VC Tar or similar?
Coal tar epoxy is the corrosion protection system we typically spec for
steel sheets in a marine environment. Bluewater makes a bottom barrier coat
for boats, but I suspect it's for commercial use on steel hull barges etc.
If you'r
While I don't have a tar bottom, I enjoyed this thorough account as there
are some good general tips. What is a chip brush?
Thanks

I found this very interesting as well. I had a sander start spinning disks off
last year, melted hooks must have been the problem, thanks for that tip!
Also, I have tried to buy the dust cyclone from Rockler for $89 on sale, both
times I got a cancellation notice from them a few days after purch
Hi Andy,
Could you elaborate on "if you do it right" with respect to single handing
an outside gybe with an asymmetrical spin? :)
I'll set and douse mine single handed, but have yet to attempt a single
handed gybe.

At one time (like 25 years ago) you would see something like black tar as a bottom paint on wooden boats - I associate it with fishing trawlers. I always thought it had creosote or some such in it as a preservative in addition to sealant and antifouling. IIRC it was nasty to work with.Rick Brass---
The idea is the sail goes out in front of the boat and then to the other side
smoothly with some tension.
Right way:
Ease port sheet and pull starboard sheet. Sail crosses over with the clew out
in front without either sheet ever being totally slack.
Wrong way:
Let port sheet go. Sail flies all
Matt – thanks for the detail, very very much appreciated. Yes likely VC tar. My Dutch/Scottish heart also warms to the reuse of a disposable brush, gripped in a very tight fist. 😉 Dave Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Matt JanssenSent: April 5, 2021 11:03 AMTo: Stus-List; Dave SCc: Della

I did this project when first purchased our 34 22 years ago. What you describe
sure sounds like VC tar to me. PO used VC 17 paint (fresh water) with VC Tar
as barrier coat that had eroded in many areas. Used chemical stripper very
sensitive to heat and humidity and very toxic. Apply stripper
Good fricken luck
That tank is accessible by removing the head sink and surround trim.
Our dip tube broke off inside the tank, so I reached my arm into our (very
full) tank, reconnected the dip tube, then pumped out the tank, promptly
