I agree. I just use a good bottom paint. I haven' t had any rust.


You must be rust free, and before you put on your bottom
paint/antifoulant, you need to have a barrier coat. I prefer an epoxy.
Only thing better is a process called Met-coating were hot molten zinc
is sprayed on. Many of the offshore platforms and barges are protected
this way.

Antifoulant absorbs moisture and should never be use alone on
steel/iron.

Glassing in iron is dumb IMO, What a nightmare that would turn
into.

Throw that zinc chromate away and get some endsrust, redlead,
epoxy,
bottom paint. I can go 3- 4 years min. on a bottom job without
seeing
any rust.
