Bob's 'personal performance guarantee' goes like this...."if it doesn't
work for you, try something else".
I am willing to bet this stuff is no different than any regular anti
fouling bottom paint......they just suck us in by putting it in an
aresol spray can.
So who is going to be the first to paint their prop and SS shaft with
antifouling paint and report back in the Fall?

It is gold! I was at work today and looked at the stuff when I saw Bob's note.
A small can is $20, likely enough to do a prop and shaft and a transducer or
two. Each can we sell is personally autographed by Bob Abbott and comes with
his personal performance guarantee. I'm not sure what he does if it doesn't
work...

Are you sure it was the paint? I thought you also distracted Rich when he was doing his
"re-direct the mussels" dance on the end of the wharf, word is that you gave
him enough rum that the mussels ended up in Grand Lake infesting the Tanzer 22 fleet
there...
But seriously, how do you move a "6 ox." can, do you need a trailer? :-)
I have a new transducer to install, I will have to investigate this stuff. I'm
sure the Binnacle has it priced as if it is gold...

This time last year, I was considering painting my prop and SS shaft with my
bottom anti-fouling paint, Micron 66, to try to minimize mussel growth.
Instead, I used a product I found at the Binnacle called "Aquagard Transducer
Paint"....a 6 ox. spay can.....label says it is good for nylon and bronze
transducers.....apply 2 coats.
On haulout last Fall, the prop and SS shaft was clean....a few barnacles on the
prop but no mussels......and there was no sign of the 'spray paint' .....you
could not tell that the prop and shaft were painted.
Will put 2 coats on again in a few weeks.....will clean the prop this time with a
solvent before applying. The can doesn't say what is in the product except 4
solvents all ending in 'lene".... toulene, etc.
