Anyone have any new experience with Pentaten/Desitin/graphite/zinc
applications for antifoulant protection of underwater metal? This was a hot
topic last year or early this year, and as I recall someone was going to try
one of them in warm water.

Yes, this spring, Captain Herb put Desitin on his prop. (Looked like
the lifeguard's nose in an old Beach Blanket Bingo movie)

Well, I hauled the boat (mid-season) to clean her for Capt. Herb
and was surprised to see the biggest barnacles
this side of Baltimore!!!

This reminds me of the guy who read "Practical Sailor" and had
his prop copper-plated. It too won the award for the
most slime and barnacles this side of Dodge.

Then there was the guy that heated his prop with a
blowtorch and applied STP - (Remember Andy Granatelli
and STP - whatever happen to the both of them?)

It's called PENATEN CRME, available in the baby section of
drugstores worldwide and definitely works for me here in Lake
Ontario. Desitin and NO-Name Zincoxide creams are made with a much
thinner base and get washed off too easily. As far as testing Penaten
Crme in warmer waters - if anyone would arrange for free transport
of my boat, I'd be willing to endure a winter say in Florida, Cuba or
Bahamas and write detailed scienterific reports. I have no connection
to the manufacturer of Penaten Crme except that my mama used it on
my baby-bottom oh so many years ago with great success!
Please contact me off-list (wouldn't want to overload TWL with too
many responses <Grin>

My boatyard put on a 5 part finish on the running gear of my sailboat, last
summer and my trawler, this past summer and both still look great and clean.

What is this 5 "Five Part" finish? I would like to give it a try.
