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.

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
