Has anybody ever put antibiotics into the antifouling paint, like
tetracycline??


I've used tributyltin and it works great. It comes in little bottles you
mix with paint for closets for mildew control. It doesn't matter to me
they outlawed it for boat bottom paint use. The very fact they outlawed
it means it worked better than anything else.

You don' t know the cedar bucket history! He ****s in a bucket and dumps it
over the side. No joke.
