ok, ive tried compressed air, and high preasure water. i cant seem to remove the clear coat (paint) that is on my hull. except of course for the areas that its coming off by itself. to my knowledge ive never heard of a chemical that would be safe for the gell but eat the paint. so am i going to have to slowly chip away at it with a razor blade? or what? any idea? i suspect sanding would work, but that is awfully difficult to not get into the gell too much. has anyone else ever had this problem?
