Worse, it could result in long term conditions that might not surface for many years. And if you bring the clothing into the house or even your car, you could endanger the health of family members. There are some pretty nasty things in boat bottom paint.

Removing bottom paint is the type of thing I'm willing to pay someone else to do.
