I don't think Neal can afford the good stuff.
It doesn't work as well if the mutton fat and chilli powder was
'previously owned'.

Years ago, a sailing club had a long running experiment in which anti-
fouling paints worked best in local waters. They had several boards
painted with different kinds, properly labelled & dated, and left
hanging about 2' under water for months at a time. Even back then
(about 20 years ago) there were old wives tales circulating about
adding chili powder or jalapeno juice or similar "Muy Caliente"
ingredient to paint for anti-fouling, so the testers at this sailing
club tried it.

Had absolutely zero effect. Apparently barnacles don't have taste
buds.
