Default Ablative bottom paints

150-200 bucks cover the barrier cost.


I think what you're calling "barrier coat" is not what I'm
calling "barrier coat."

... When they remove the old
anitfoulant you can not help but nic thru the barrier in many places


If "they" can't, then "they" better get a job in a barnyard
somewhere, cause I ain't letting "them" work on *my* boat.

I've already spent far too much time correcting shoddy
workmanship done by dolts whom eveolution gave hooves
instead of opposable thumbs.

...... It's also hard to get a low humidity days
here, nut Id rather sit in the yard a week waiting then applying in a
high humidity day. It can make a 3 yr difference on how long I can go
between bottom jobs. The antifoulant it's not as important.


Hmm, and you diss fiberglass boats?


Got this FLS http://www.vitelectronics.com/probe.html
800 dollars. A friend has the same system and it seem to be good for
the money.


Thanks for the tip, I will check it out.


How long are you planning to take while doing the loop?

A year, maybe year and a half. No hurry.

A barrier coat is a 2 part water proof epoxy.

OK, maybe we are talking about the same thing. Why would it
be difficult to avoid sanding thru? The cheapest on the
market is still expensive enought that I would be mad at a
boatyard worker who destroyed the integrity of the barrer
coat... and we didn't use the cheapest.
