My best guess is, that they switched suppliers. That’s the problem of using a House Brand, they pick the lowest cost provider and keep selling it as their own. They probably offshored it. Pettit is Pettit. Interlux is Interlux.
Just my opinion, of course. Bill Coleman C&C 39 Erie, PA From: CnC-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chuck Borge via CnC-List Sent: Monday, March 14, 2016 2:17 PM To: CnClist Cc: Chuck Borge Subject: Re: Stus-List Irgarol - reply from Interlux Hi Listers, For the last few years I've used the West Marine PCA Gold. The results have been decent for my location in Swansea, MA at the top or Mount Hope Bay. Last season the paint went on a little tougher than usual, and the weird thing was it seemed like a Flat finish, whereas the prior years were shinier (as far as bottom paint goes). And out of the water it is a lot chalkier than last few years. One more thing, it had a kinda purple tint after cleaning some days. Other factors: Same paint for last 3 years. Not much build up as I put one coat overall and 2 at waterline and leading edges of foils At haulout, I have some bare spots (but nothing to worry about) I clean the bottom often, at least 2x/month and toward August and Sept- every week. Launch is first week of May, haul is last week of October. Any thoughts? West Marine's product advisers didn't have much to say other than meeting EPA guidelines means they've had to change to formulas and that 60* at application is on the low side. April in my neighborhood is hard to find many days much warmer than that. Thanks, Chuck B C&C 34 Elusive Somerset, MA
