Habanera Sauce in the bottom paint
Well, it's been about two years now, and I haven't seen
much growth on the bottom of my Cal. I'm not sure if this anecdotal evidence has convinced me to try it again, but I'm not displeased. I added this stuff to the paint and mixed it in pretty well. So far so good. I'm going to have the boat hauled in a couple of months, and then I'll know more. Has anyone tried this? |

You mean you didn't paint a portion without the addition?????

Actually, I didn't mention it, but I did... the well that would normally
take the outboard has a fiberglass plug. I didn't use the sauce there, and it seems to be much worse. It's still not a complete answer though, because the plug isn't in the water all the time.

Jon asked: Has anyone tried this?
I thought the US Navy used paint that contained capsaicin (sp) but that = the results weren't very impressive. --=20 katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.

Yes, and with red pepper on a dink. Old coonass trick used in oil base paint not bottom paint. Not very effective. Just buy good bottom paint. Joe MSV RedCloud |

Not Habenera per se but the principal ingredient is plain old ordinary
capsicum (as in pepper spray, pepper sauces, or red pepper). Capsicum has been used for decades by local natives of Central America and SE Asia for the purpose mentioned and with good effect. Even now there is a company that sells it as an ingredient for anti fouling enhancement. Not necessary to buy it commercially. Just mix in red pepper or as Joe mentioned some of the hotter grades of hot sauce. Michael "Joe" wrote in message om... "Jonathan Ganz" wrote in message ...

Actually, I got the habenera sause... the most powerful I could find.
It cost $20 for a small bottle. "Michael" wrote in message ... Not Habenera per se but the principal ingredient is plain old ordinary capsicum (as in pepper spray, pepper sauces, or red pepper).

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

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? Joe MSV RedCloud Oz wrote in message ...
