Re: Bottom Painting

(hehehe Sounds like a recipe.)<br />A couple things... <br />1. Does the 'heat' keep the growth off?<br />2. Does the food value cause growth?<br />I would read the can and follow the directions exactly and not take a chance with a well meaning rumor.<br />bon apetit!

Re: Bottom Painting

While you are at it.. stick some tarko's on it and soak it in a nice red wine... <br /><br />Then put it in a preheated oven at 180 degree's for 3 hours and serve with a light garnish.... <br /><br />Seriously though, I doubt any organic food additive would even be detectable after a month under water.. and worse it might actually attract that which you would prefer to keep away in that month..<br /><br />IF you really must try it,, do it in a small area and look at it after a few months.. <br /><br />Compare it to the rest of the hull and let us know the results.. <br /><br />regards<br /><br />Franki
