Subject: RE: [worldcruising] Re: stripping and painting a mast

We're about to tackle this job. We just used awlgrip on the hull, so I
assume we'll use the leftovers for the masts. A few questions:
1. Must we completely sand off the old paint?
2. What should we use to etch the bare aluminum?
Thanks, and by the way, the hull and cabin top look incredible -- rolled and
tipped.

I am going on 8 years of having done this, except I used Imron. Still looks
good, but starting to dull and has chips around the sail track.
