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?
Cheers, Russ

Anybody dumping Roundup in to their bottom paint

out to the barn and shot. Dumping a witches brew
of anti biotics into these same waters is
similarly ignorant IMO. Complain about the EPA
all you like, but someone needs to take on the
unenviable task of protecting the rest of us and
our sailing waters from the ill informed and
questionably intentioned. My 2 cents.

You want the stuff to perform as designed.. You
apply it as prescribed. If the tetracycline
was as effective as claimed, it would be in the paint from the factory. Â
BTW, My burnished Trinidad Pro is still pristine
(I check it regularly when we swim) after being
constantly in the water 1.5 years. It's not real
long yet but that is 1.5 years continuous. My
competition scrubs their VC-17 bottom every
week, I scrub it never yet we're fast enough to
consistently show-up on the podium despite our
inexperienced team's frequent mistakes and my old bedsheet sails. :-)

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.
