[PSUBS-MAILIST] Silicone

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Rick,
Are there any boat yards near you that might do it.
Even if they just sand blast it & prime it.
I presume you won't be keeping your sub permanently in the water so no 
Need for anti fouling.

>> Dan H said he used an epoxy paint of some sort but they discontinued it because it caused cancer, I think he said emron or something but I thought the gist of the group here used an epoxy paint but when I mentioned that the other day at our Sherwin-Williams, they were adamant that it shouldn't be used in a semi underwater application, but like Jon says, I don't know any that are. 
>> Jon, let me know if you can locate what you were talking about and David, go ahead and send me your contact in Cal.
>> Thanks again

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.

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.
