I don’t suppose there would be, so long as you flush with water. You might also look up the MMSI for Barnacle Buster and see what the active ingredient is. Might just be dilute acid.
What I did on my prop and shaft in 2009 was something that was recommended to me by one of the local fishermen. He told me it is typical for them to use a 2 part product from Imterlux (the name of which I can’t recall) that etches the metal and puts down a primer coat, and then paint the prop and shaft with black Trinidad Pro. When I hauled in 2011, and again during a short haul in May of this year, I had no barnacles on my prop or shaft. Not a heck of a lot of black paint left, but that is easy to fix. What I will be using next is called Pro Gold (very similar but less expensive than Prop Speed). Seems to be the go-to product among the local fishermen. Used it on a 29-2 back in the spring, but 6 months is too short a time to tell if it works better than what I was using.

If you are concerned about over sanding than take a look at Barnacle Buster. You spray it on, let it devolve the basal plates, and wash it off. This stuff is great, but you need to keep it wet. Here are two links providing info. The first one is a write up in Practical Sailor on using Barnacle Buster in a "Barnacle Remover Test “. The second info link, is a brochure. http://www.practical-sailor.com/issues/33_5/chandlery/5439-1.html https://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/pdfs/Trac_Ecological/TDS_Barnacle_Buster_2011.pdf - Paul E. 1981 C&C 38 Landfall S/V Johanna Rose Carrabelle, FL http://svjohannarose.blogspot.com/ On Oct 22, 2015, at 6:41 PM, [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> wrote: Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2015 16:11:01 -0300 From: robert < <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]> To: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] Subject: Stus-List Anti-fouling paint Message-ID: < <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed For the past 4 sailing seasons, I have used Micron 66....the first 3 seasons/haulouts, the bottom was void of any marine growth, and no slime.....didn't even need a pressure wash. This haulout (season #4), the bottom was infested with barnacles....not a few scattered around, a significant number all over....I wet sanded, which removed the most of the little critters (and a lot of the 66) but there are still traces of the 'little critters'. Not sure if I will sand them out completely or simply paint over them next Spring. Anybody have this problem and how did you finally deal with it? _______________________________________________ Email address: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go to the bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
