Stus-List Re: Bottom paint- Pettit Black Widow

[Chuck Borge via CnC-List]

I’ve been using BW for about 5 years now. Buzz down with 80grit and recoat in the spring. Little hard growth, slime worthy of a cleaning every other week in the summer for racing. This year put 2 coats on, went nearly 8 weeks before it needed slime removal, still no hard growth. 2-3 weeks between cleanings since. Boat is in brackish water in upper Mt Hope Bay. Coat finish is passable without burnishing, and scotchbrite in the water makes it smoother as the season goes on. This has been the best year it’s performed thus far. Chuck BC&C41 TenaciousSomerset, MA Sent from my iPhoneOn Aug 9, 2023, at 9:52 AM, Joel Aronson via CnC-List  wrote:FWIW, on the Chesapeake, their Trinidad SR is the first choice.JoelOn Wed, Aug 9, 2023 at 9:21 AM Andrew Burton via CnC-List  wrote:Thanks, David.

FWIW, on the Chesapeake, their Trinidad SR is the first choice.

Stus-List Bottom paint- Pettit Black Widow

[David Knecht via CnC-List]

I had my boat painted with Pettit Black Widow this spring after hearing some 
positive comments about it from members of this list.  I wanted to report back 
to others considering it that my diver says my boat has had the cleanest bottom 
in the mooring field all season.  He has dropped the cleaning frequency from 
every 2 weeks to every 3 weeks and still has very little cleaning to do even 
with that.  He is now convinced and telling other owners how good that paint is 
(in our area at least).  Dave
