Brilliant idea; it would protect the boat and whatever grows on it from bacterial infection. Or wait, maybe it is a really bad idea, and would just help breeding strains of antibiotics resistant bacteria.

It comes in little bottles you mix with paint for closets for mildew control. It doesn't matter to me they outlawed it for boat bottom paint use. The very fact they outlawed it means it worked better than anything else. Wilbur Hubbard |

I haven't, but it's supposed to be effective.

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) Steve "Hanz" wrote in message . ..
