We've done the same thing. It works, sort of, but not as well as
painting the prop thickly with liquid marker ink. It's hard to find
but not very expensive.



Any office supply place. It's called "Stamp Pad Ink".

Cheap.

Nobody paints bronze. No real point to it. Bronze is an alloy of,
mostly tin and copper, both of which are used as the active ingredient
in anti-fouling paint. I have seen some bare stainless props as well,
but I am a fresh water sailor, and we don't have to contend with real
marine wildlife. As for aluminum, probably Awlgrip or maybe epoxy.
Antifouling paint is supposed to slowly dissolve, On a spinning prop
it dissolves[ ablate if you like] rather too quickly, so they don't
use it.

I don't get it. After your prop folds up, how is the paint going to
make it faster?

Come back when you have more experience, I can show you lots of
photos of bronze props covered with large barnacles!
