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

[Ken Wise]

Michael, thanks for your response. For your information, I never received an earlier reply from you and so I could not reply, but I sail in fresh water and I and I trust others have a much better understanding of anti-fouling paint. If you go to the anti-fouling paint area of the faq you will see awlgrip mentioned as that which used by gb. Perhaps that should be updated
