[QUOTE="Skiffing, post: 372769, member: 15889"] When I did this on my 28' sailboat I used 1 lb of cayenne / gallon ablative paint. Never had any growth or slime. In the ocean from May through September. All natural - no additives. Previously - there was always something growing on the bottoms. A friend used cayenne pepper with a two part paint and sprayed on. Lasted for many years. Moored at the mouth of the Merrimack River. In fact, after a couple of years he painted silver squid on the bottom with anti-foul paint but didn't add cayenne. When he pulled that year the squid were covered with crap. Saw that with my own eyes. Anyway - I'm looking for info whether cayenne might be harmful ti aluminum. I know it works on FB & steel.
