 I think any drug like  tetracycline will kill lots of germs and bacteria
 but will dissolve so fast in water, it will be gone in a few days. I
 wouldn't add anything to bottom paint for fear of jeopardizing the adhesion
 and slow release of it's own toxins. I've heard of people mixing in Round
 Up and I've heard the same people complain that their paint flaked off
 during haulout. I ask them if they sanded with 80 grit paper before
 painting as directed, and can tell by their confused expression, they never
 read the directions.

 I respect the guys who write the application instructions, follow those as
 close as I can and I've enjoyed great success.

 I understand your frustration with VC-17. I used VC-Offshore for 8 years
 and got fed up with the fouling. Had to clean the bottom each week to stay
 ahead of it. Used a piece of carpet and sometimes a 3M pad. Switched to a
 better paint, Micron 66, and love it. Kept the boat in all winter and the
 fouling looked pretty bad this May. All the boats in y marina had a fur
 attached to their hulls. I was surprised how easy it came off easily with a
 soft deck brush, and very little pressure. Micron 66 is designed for Salt
 Water and Fresh Water requires Micron Extra I think. Both can be
 burnished, but the paint goes on very smooth as is, and by design gets
 smoother as it ablates. They are multi season hard abatives.

hey Kevin,

I'm skeptical that Roundup addition to bottom 
paint will work. I've been lead to believe that 
Roundup needs to be applied to green leafy plants 
that are in the growing stage.


If you think it works, what kind of proportions are we looking at?

Re: Stus-List Bottom paint -ingredient change

2015-07-01 Thread Jack Brennan via CnC-List
Not defending the use of antibiotics in bottom paint, but nearly all 
antifouling is toxic to marine life (which is why it’s used as antifouling ...)

Copper is nasty stuff to marine  life and to people (in sufficient doses), 
which is why the smart sailor wears a respirator and plenty of protective 
clothing when sanding and painting the bottom. Trinidad Pro, until recently, 
had an effective (read nasty) pesticide called Irgarol that ran into trouble 
with the EPA.

Those of us who are older may remember tin-based bottom paint that worked 
wonderfully, but created aquatic dead zones around your boat.

Using antibiotics unnecessarily is bad (both in farming and sailing) because 
bacteria adapt quickly and can learn to outwit particular types, making those 
antibiotics ineffective.

Just saying ... none us us has cleans hands in this. If you have a sailboat, 
you’re harming the environment to some degree.

You really ought to become better informed yourself before you go shooting your 
mouth off about killing people. You obviously know very little about these 
chemicals, chemistry in general, or proportions or common usage yourself, or 
you wouldn't make such ridiculous and offensive comments about other sailors on

  Anybody dumping Roundup in to their bottom paint and the waters in which we 
sail should be taken out to the barn and shot. Dumping a witches brew of anti

I think any drug like  tetracycline will kill lots of germs and bacteria 
but will dissolve so fast in water, it will be gone in a few days. I wouldn't 
add anything to bottom paint for fear of jeopardizing the adhesion and slow 
release of it's own toxins. I've heard of people mixing in Round Up and I've 
heard the same people complain that their paint flaked off during haulout. I 
ask them if they sanded with 80 grit paper before painting as directed, and can 
tell by their confused expression, they never read the directions. 

I respect the guys who write the application instructions, follow those as 
close as I can and I've enjoyed great success. 

I understand your frustration with VC-17. I used VC-Offshore for 8 years 
and got fed up with the fouling. Had to clean the bottom each week to stay 
ahead of it. Used a piece of carpet and sometimes a 3M pad. Switched to a 
better paint, Micron 66, and love it. Kept the boat in all winter and the 
fouling looked pretty bad this May. All the boats in y marina had a fur 
attached to their hulls. I was surprised how easy it came off easily with a 
soft deck brush, and very little pressure. Micron 66 is designed for Salt Water 
and Fresh Water requires Micron Extra I think. Both can be burnished, but the 
paint goes on very smooth as is, and by design gets smoother as it ablates. 
They are multi season hard abatives.

Rick, I decided to try your friend's suggestion, but with the 
veterinary grade tetracycline since that is all that is available to us mere 
mortals who are not M.D.s. The stuff I bought from the local farm supply is 25% 
tetracycline by weight and whatever makes up the rest of it is not mentioned on 
the packaging. I used about a rounded teaspoon in a quart of VC17 and it seemed 
to work ok mix and application wise but with one big problem. The veterinary 
stuff consists of particles the size of fine sand, instead of the fine powder 
used in the gel caps fit for humans. I should have ground it up into a fine 
powder first, but I was in a hurry and not wearing my reading glasses. The 
result was as you might expect from this description. The surface texture of 
paint with bits of fine sand mixed in here and there. Live and learn, and a 
word to the wise. Make sure that anything you add to paint is ground up super 
fine. Seems obvious I know, but being in a hurry tends to make me stupid.

Re: Stus-List Bottom paint -ingredient change

According to Pettit tech support,  the herbicide is a supply issue from the 
manufacturer and only temporary at that.  Does anyone know if this is correct ?

Re: Stus-List Bottom paint -ingredient change

From the link in the email that started this thread:

Irgarol: The algaecide supplied by chemical giant BASF and widely relied
upon by most marine paint manufacturers to control “soft growths” like
slime and plant growth that has very recently been discontinued as a bottom
paint ingredient.

BASF seems to have caught the bottom paint industry off guard with their
announcement late last year, and while manufacturers of the Irgarol
dependent paint hope that in just 6-9 months it could be in production
again, there is no guarantee, and certainly these companies had to act
quickly to be ready for bottom paint season with an alternative. There are
a number of popular antifouling paints that are being affected by BASF’s
discontinuation of Irgarol.

not be available until Irgarol is re-released (available at JD.com
