The guy that does Touche's bottom paint always sprays it. I use Balto Plate. He also sprayed on some barrier coat a few years ago. He does excellent work. All he does is bottom work and topside painting. Dennis C. On Thu, Feb 23, 2017 at 12:14 PM, Edd Schillay via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list

Edd; This is the current version of what used to be known as Air-X. The Air-X is probably the most common one I see on boats traveling the ICW that stop at the marina I manage. Almost everyone seems happy with them. Based on the recommendations from owners I bought an Air-X but have not gott

Edd I installed a 450 MarineKinetix in Annapolis on my way south in 2014. Install was simple. I mounted it on a poll I purchased from e-marine. It's aluminum and they coat the inside to reduce vibration and noise. I love it when the wind is blowing 15+ kts. I chose this one because I saw

Not all windgens are created equal. I’ve had guests sitting in the cockpit in 20kt breeze and with bimini above they had no clue my blades were spinning. I was told they could spin 200mph+ in a breeze. My windgen is mounted on an 1-1/4” aluminum pole, starboard-aft of the cockpit. Blades com

My friend who finished second overall and first in class at last year's Newport to Bermuda race sprayed his bottom (Cal 40). Used a number of thin coats of some expensive new paint. We have also sprayed Balto-plate. I think Vivid may work with a sprayer, as it is rather thin. Talk to the vendors.

Edd, Your use of “pull the trigger” is ironic, since it is what I want to do any time a person with a wind generator picks up a mooring or anchors anywhere within ear shot of my boat. Well maybe not quite that severe, but there are few sounds more annoying to me than a wind generator buzzing a

Not a good idea. Bottom paint should be thinned as little as possible and never by more than 10%. Too much thinner changes the structure of the paint when it dries and cures, which is critical to how it works. Not thinning it at all is optimum, but most thin it SLIGHTLY to make it easier to rol

from what I have researched it takes a strong consistent wind before they make sense. From what I have read you start getting usable output at about 15 knots, and it does not start making it's peak till well over 20 knots. Might make sense in the Caribbean(eastern), or Pacific islands, I don't' see

I think lots of yards would require a tent to be able to spray. Seems it would create a lot of time cleaning up between coats, and will take several times more coats to get a good level of protection. On Thu, Feb 23, 2017 at 1:14 PM, Edd Schillay via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Lis
