Hanz,
It is already commercially available as an additive. The Tetracycline used
is the Bovine variety. Although I have not yet used it, I have been told it
is very successful. It is supposed to be used along with a pepper hot sauce
in even the cheapest ablative bottom paint. The theory is clinging animal
life does not like spicy environments. Furthermore, it isn't supposed to
**** off the oysters and thereby keep the greenies at bay.(so to speak)

Has anybody ever put antibiotics into the antifouling paint, like
tetracycline??

Is does not work. Guy tried it here on his dink, and in no time it was
covered with growth.

Starbrite's Compound X is just tetracycline. I've used it when I make
up inflatable boat bottom paint, along with cayenne pepper. The
combination works very well.
