www.svlaviajera.comAfter a short break of a few weeks I’m back and on the outside of the boat! I got the chance to borrow a petrol powered jet wash to try out my Karcher Sandblasting Attachment and it worked a treat! Turns out it was more than likely the water pressure in the marina causing the problems last time. I’m still refitting the inside but with the weather warming up I decided it was best to try and get her in the water as soon as possible! Hopefully in time to sail to the Isle of Man for the TT motorbike races!
I honestly believe you could use the original size Karcher jet wash (The K2) to get this job done, so no need for a massive machine although more pressure up to a point is better. I’d still recommend using the caustic soda gel mixture to strip away the bulk of the anti-foul paint and then use this method to properly finish it off. You could use this method without the Caustic soda mix but you’d need more sand to get the job done.

It’s worth noting too that this type of sand blasting attachment was available for other types of jet wash, so even if you don’t have a Karcher it would still be worth looking.
