[PSUBS-MAILIST] Silicone

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

Rick,
Ditto what David Colombo wrote.  I wish I could remember how the Sherwin Williams Rep steered us back in 2012 (I think it was) but there were certain products that they had which he highly recommended although none of them were in any way associated for underwater application.  I'm going to have to search through archives to see if I can pick up any info.
Absent that, epoxy based paint is used by most that I am aware of.  I know Alec Smyth just used a roller for SNOOPY which provided a matt orange-peel type finish instead of a high gloss sheen, but like he said, it was wicked easy to patch a scratch or scrape that inevitably shows up due to bumping into things, etc.  I am likely going to follow that lead on the K-600.

Thanks IanI know there are a lot of boats out there that are painted so was surprised to not get any feedback. Sherwin-Williams here on the big island said that they don't have anything that will work for an underwater application. Rick
