Applying anti fouling paint to aluminum bottoms is
tedious at best. All sorts of cleaners, etchers,
primers, etc. Has anyone tried painting on a couple
coats of a good exterior latex over the aluminum, to
provide an electrolytic insulator, and slapping on the
antifouling over that? Seems like it should work. Dick

Latex will not handle constant submersion, but how about a
single barrier coat of epoxy paint, then bottom paint over
it. I don't know but I do work in the epoxy business.
