    FAQ

    Common Questions

    Honest answers from people who actually do the work.

    Is dry ice blasting safe on fiberglass hulls?

    Yes — dry ice blasting is non-abrasive and widely used in marine restoration precisely because it won't damage fiberglass gelcoat. The pellets are softer than most surface materials and rely on thermal shock and kinetic energy to dislodge contaminants, not abrasion. We calibrate pressure to the surface type.

    Can you remove old bottom paint without damaging the hull?

    In most cases, yes. Dry ice blasting effectively strips old antifouling and bottom paint, leaving the hull surface clean and ready for new coats. Results vary by paint thickness and adhesion — we'll assess your hull before starting and tell you exactly what to expect.

    How is this better than pressure washing or sanding?

    Pressure washing uses water at high force — it can force moisture into core materials, damage gelcoat, and leave a cleanup mess. Sanding is time-intensive, creates dust, and requires masking and disposal. Dry ice blasting is faster, leaves no water or abrasive residue, and doesn't damage the underlying surface.

    Do you travel to marinas or dry storage facilities?

    Yes. We bring our equipment to you — marinas, boat storage yards, private property, or trailered at your home. Call us with your location and we'll confirm whether we can service your area.

    What's the best time of year for hull cleaning?

    Pre-launch (spring) and post-haul (fall) are the most popular windows. Pre-launch cleaning puts you on the water faster with a fresh bottom coat. Post-haul cleaning prevents marine growth from hardening during winter storage and makes spring prep easier.

    Can you clean zebra mussels off my hull?

    Yes. Zebra mussel removal is a specific application dry ice blasting handles very well. The thermal and kinetic action dislodges the mussels and byssal threads without leaving chemical residue — important for complying with aquatic invasive species regulations in Montana and Idaho.
