[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 464805, member: 15636"] [b]From Johnny:[/b] All about Primers = https://www.tinboats.net/primer-and-paint-basics/ Paint, Thinners and Applications = https://www.paintingforpainters.com/ [b]Saltwater:[/b] Sand & Etch - Sand, don’t need to get bare, just remove loose paint. Then wipe it down, especially any bare tin spots, with white vinegar and copper scrubber pads to etch it, then rinse with water and let dry. Anti-Fouling - Don’t waste your time with TriLux 33, you need a really good, which will be expen$ive, copper free’ anti-fouling paint suitable for use on an aluminum boat. And you must prime it well, I would use a two part epoxy-based zinc chromate primer. That said, this year I am using the ‘copper free’ paint by Sea Hawk, only $130 per gallon, and it is rated as good as the Micron CVS by Interlux which co$ts $240 per gallon. [/QUOTE]
