Amine Blush

....and removing it.

I'm at point right now with my redo on the bottom finish where I have to remove the dreaded amine blush. The last time I did the bottom the keels were not installed so removing was a lot easier. Does anyone have a good method to get into the junction where the keel meets the hull so the blush can be removed ?

Re: Amine Blush

Amine blush is water soluble so that, a scrub brush and some elbow grease should fix you up.

Here is some info from West Sysytem epoxy "http://www.atlcomposites.com/pdf/west-amine_blush.pdf"

Hope that helps some.

Well the blush has been removed and two coat of primer sprayed on. Tonight the first coat of paint, I'll let it cure till Sunday then a light wet sanding,second coat next Wednesday.

Hopefully I can flip it over by the 28th and reinstall all the hardware and move this boat out of my shop. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e161/Lakefield/DSC00181.jpg http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e161/Lakefield/DSC00183.jpg

The bottom paint has been sprayed on.

Now to remove the rest of the masking tape and install the brass runners on the three keels.

Then flip it over in about a week, then reinstall all the top parts I took off.

Ready for this summer.
