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.
