news  Probably several tens of thousands of people of the past 50 years. I have a friend that does it on his wooden boat and swears by it. "Mic" wrote in message ... Something I found on a web page thought it might be of interest...has anyone tried this? " From: John Rose Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 To: Subject: Antifouling Boat Paints A local fisherman's and yachtsman's practice in the Pacific NW is to add cayenne pepper to anti-fouling paint, Keeps slime and other stuff from fouling the bottom. Add about 1/2 cup per gal. of paint. Mix right in with the paint before roller application to bottom of boat. It really works according to those who have tried it, and also boatyard employees. We recently did the bottom of a Santana 525 with this method. We used Pettit Trinidad SR bottom paint. John Rose Tacoma, WA" I tried using Habanera sauce on my Cal 20. I don't think it made a huge difference. Very hard to tell though, because I had no control in the experiment, but I did use the absolute cheapest bottom paint WM sells and the most powerful sause I could find. The bottom needed to get done again in 18 months. I'm not sure I would bother next time. |
