for the last method. The paint I use wants to dry before splashing.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Some bottom paint also has a maximun time it can be left
out of water. A vinyl paint I've used in the past had a 3 day limit, I believe.
That brand (super vinlux) has since gone extinct.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>BTW, what I replaced it with, VC offshore (both interlux
products) I am dissatisfied with. I am going to try Micron csc (reputed possible
to be painted over vinyl base paints) next. anybody have experience with this
stuff over the last year? It's possible I am judging a paint in what has been a
very bad barnacle year.</FONT></DIV>
