4 or 5 inch RO sander with 120 grit mesh sanding pad works for the large areas pretty well.
Also the mesh pads work pretty well to hand sand the corners etc.

I use a s/s wire wheel on a 4¡± high speed grinder to clean the prop and shaft. Go get a can of Rustoleum zinc primer and spray the prop and shaft to resist that hard growth.

My propeller (3 blade autoprop) is covered with smallish barnacles.? What is the best way to clean the prop:? scraping and sanding is tedious.? Would a wire wheel in a drill end up scratching the surface and encourage growth?? Is a flapper wheel in a drill a better approach?? Other great ideas???

Thanks!
