[ham] [Rhodes22-list] Stan, will the real paint stand up?

     As a hull diver, I have strong opinions about bottom paint. For almost
all applications, I recommend Petit Trinidad. It's an epoxy-based paint,
quite hard, high copper content, resists fouling well and stands up to
cleaning and other forms of abuse, besides being fast. Ablatives, IMHO, do
not offer superior anti-fouling properties for the casual sailor, and are
far more fragile than epoxy-based paints.
