[Rhodes22-list] ? for Bill Effros on Hard Bottom Paint

[Bill Effros]

Ed,

Some of the ablative paints are so soft they smear onto you if you brush 
up against them either on land or in the water.  The paint I am now 
using gets hard enough on land that you could call it "dry".  In the 
water it softens, but not to the point where it leaves a stain in the 
water, or completely ablates away in less than one season.

I know nothing about Teflon bottom paints except that racers were 
talking about it for awhile.  The idea was that it would be too slick 
for anything to stick to it.  I think it was too slick to stick to 
anything else, also.

The computer toy is great.  I saw it this morning, but didn't have a 
picture of my boat on my computer, so I decided to wait until I could 
find one.  But now so many people are adding their locations, I posted 
mine without a picture while there was still a place on the map for me.  
I'll find a picture later and add it.
