Joe,

I'm not interested in barnacles... however, there's a lot of other
things that grow, and so far, I have to say I'm impressed with
the habanera sause I used in the paint. When I painted my
boat, I used the absolute cheapest paint I could get. The yard
forman said it would probably last maybe on season. It's at
two right now with minimal growth. The only hassle with it
was that it was hard to mix it with the paint, thus I'm willing
to experiment with chili sause.

Why do you think something has to be sold in a marine store
to be useful on a boat?

Because if it were useful and a good product at a cheaper cost someone
would be making lots of money doing it. I would. Interlux would.

If it was effective why would anyone pay close to 200 a gallon for
bottom paint? Dont you think the paint mfg's have not tried this. And
Katy sails said the Navy tried it and it was a failure. I bet your
boat would be in the same condition it is in, if you used just plain
paint with no chilies!

Save your hot sauce for tacos! Or next time paint a small square
without chilie pepper and compare the difference in growth over time.

Hmmm... I will take that into consideration upon the next haulout.

Your wasting your time!

Mr Cooper made a wood dink. He did the bottom with powered red chili
pepper mixed in paint for the bottom and kept the boat in the water
here in the marina.

Within 6 month in the water his hull was covered with barrinacles.

He pulled his dink used interlux bottom paint and it stayed unfouled
for 3 + years.

Answer this: What marine store carries chile pepper?

Why is that?

Doesn't upset the paint mix other than to thicken it a bit.
Much more concentrated too.
