    Interesting question. I am looking for an easy way (dream on huh?) of
    removing a number of layers of Micron CSC without damaging the Interprotect
    barrier boat.

    I've noticed an advertisement in a local mag concerning "environmetnally
    friendly" bottom blasting. Somebody once told me they use some
    environmentally neutral product (baking soda) to blast off the paint. I
    don't know if it would damage the barrier coat or not though (anybody?).

    I'd be interested to hear of any experience others have had in removing
    ablative paint without damaging barrier coat. Especially Micron CSC.

    Thanks folks!
