Thanks Paul.

I've seen damage from bottom paint on aluminum pontoons and thought I could barrier coat the whole pontoons and then bottom paint. Will this work and what prep should I do prior to barrier coat? Only things I know about aluminum is it holds beer well. Thanks, MMC. Aluminum is the hardest metal to coat because it self oxidizes so quickly (why it doesn't rust). I'm sure others will have better prep methods, but common is to sand or wire brush to shiny and then coat immediately. epoxy will from a physical barrier between the bottom paint and the aluminum hull. paul "Paul Oman" wrote in message ... I need to coat the inside of an aluminum pontoon with zinc chromate, in order to do this it must be thinned. What solvent can be used to thin zinc chromate? use an aluminum filled moisture cured urethane (MCU) and/or an epoxy paint. paul oman progressive epoxy polymers -- |
