Hohe Standzeit im gegensatz von anderen Klingen!

The one and only,
vieles versucht, aber der ist der einzige mit dem es wirklich möglich ist das Antifouling zu entfernen!

Alles OK- Preis, Lieferung, Verpackung.

Funktionier ausgezeichnet. 34 fus Langkieler in 4 tagen abgekratzt.

geiles teil sehr zu empfehlen

Es tut seinen zweck, wenn man es richtig anwendet

Tiptop Arbeitsergebnisse. Antifouling von 30ft-Unterwasserschiff hat netto 12 Stunden gedauert, was aber maßgeblich an der eigenen Kondition lag. Insgesammt dafür drei Klingenseiten, also Vor- und Rückseite der Originalklinge und eine Ersatzklinge benötigt. Durch die Absaugung eine saubere Sache. Für Unterwasserschiffsanierung unbedingt empfehlenswert.

Sehr sauberes Arbeiten ( mit Absaugung ), die Körperliche Fitness bestimmt die Flächenleistung,
mit ein wenig Übung sehr glatte Oberfläche .

Hält wirklich, was er verspricht. Sehr solide verarbeitet. Durch die Absaugfunktion bleibt alles sauber, man atmet keinen Dreck ein (Schutzbrille würde ich aber empfehlen) und muss nachher auch nichts saubermachen.

Top Klinge! Die Absaugfunktion funktioniert super. Volle Punktzahl!

Einfach in der Handhabung

...that means they're also brittle.

Rounding the edges of the blades to avoid scratching the gelcoat only worked with the grinding stone I normally use to sharpen my drill bits. The Dremel with a carbide burr failed miserably.

The problem with the hardness or brittleness became even more apparent later when scraping. I gradually got more and more "gaps" in the scraping result. Eventually, it got to the point where I had to rotate the blade because the result looked like I'd used a comb. At some point, I realized that you have to place the blade gently on the gelcoat; then it lasts longer. As soon as you apply too much pressure, pieces break off, and you get the corresponding comb-like pattern.

The scraper itself isn't exactly cheap, but it's the best tool I've used so far.

I removed the first few layers because of... I scraped the hull curvature lengthwise down to the first antifouling and primer layer applied by the shipyard using a vacuum. I removed the rest with antifouling paint stripper and a scraper. Since the antifouling hardens again with the stripper, I had to clean the scraper frequently. However, since it was easy to disassemble, this wasn't a problem. Finally, I cleaned the remaining primer on the hull with 180-grit sandpaper, and that was it. The scraper and blades are great; you just need to know, or learn, how to use them.

OK

I am new to sailing ship building and after testing all methods I decided on a rough treatment with the blade and a final sanding. The blade with suction is by far the most environmentally friendly for health. 90% is sucked out - the residue is rather long strands, so it is not nearly as bad for the respiratory tract as small particles.
Here's the big BUT
Here you work with great force on a round boat wall with a square blade. The corners will often cause deep damage to the gelcoat - this is inevitable and virtually unavoidable, so be sure to sand the corners off to make them round. For a rough treatment of a Leisure 22, 2 blades were enough.

You can work well with the blade in the scraper. The price seems a bit high to me.

Stability could be better, even at the price

Basically good, gets a bit expensive when you pull off a whole boat. Slightly rounded corners would be nice, then the boat would forgive small wobbles with the scraper.

I have achieved good work results with the scraper

If you only consider the material value, the Ladyshave is grossly overstrained. In the application, but he shows his strengths Connect vacuum cleaner hose (I had my extended with a second hose from the bulky waste with tape) and off you go, all the antifouling dust disappears in the vacuum cleaner, the force required when scratching is moderate. The only problem with scratching If you remove the antifouling complete with all primer layers down to the gelcoat, leaving the corners of the sharp scraper almost inevitably fine grooves in the gelcoat. The last layer should therefore be sanded better, or decide is no matter anyway, is over-primed anyway.

We can only assess satisfaction in spring

this product will only be used in spring

Ich habe damit in 2,5 Stunden das Unterwassersxhiff einer 22 Fuß Kielyacht vom Antifouling (3 Schichten) abgekratzt. Einzig die Befestigung der Klinge mit zwei kleinen Schrauben ist unglücklich, da man diese regelmäßig nachziehen muss, wenn man sie nicht im Staubsauger suchen möchte. Das Absaugen funktioniert hervorragend.

ist ganz ok, es erfüllt seinen Zweck
