[Rhodes22-list] FW: bottom paint

[Wally Buck]

Bruce,

Yes, If it cures too hard the ablative properties are diminished. My boat 
was on the hard for over a year when I boat it. I was instructed to hose 
down the hull and then brush lightly before launching. I am not sure if it 
actually did anything but I figured what the hell...
