Hi Doug,

I am almost ready to apply the barrier paint to my hull and I'd decided to use the Bio Guard 251, but after contacting the company you had suggested I find that it is no longer available. I've asked them what they would recommend in it's place but can't seem to get a reply. Are you aware of this change and do you know of a comparable product?

Thanks,
-Mark

Sorry about the personal post but the forums e-mail didn't work and it's not in your profile.

I did not know of a change. Did you E mail or call ? There are other products for bottom pain (Barrier) If you have read the articals you know all about high solids V/S those filled with a lot of solvents. More solvent content means your paying for something that evaporates. Im sure West Systems will have something but it wont be cheap. I would try to call the bio guard people http://www.thinfilmtech.net/products/index.html

Mark,

After a fair amount of contact with the company I went with the Water Gaurd 300. I was really happy with the finished product. I have a fair amount left which I am going to use in various places on my boat.

One word of caution, as with any epoxy, if you mix up too much to use before it starts setting up just let it go and mix another batch.

I used a roller and brush with great results. I could not get the paint pads to hold up long enough to be of value.

Good luck.

Man oh Man that looks sweet. Yes placing the words nospam on the front of my E mail stops (ALL) of the spam. It also stops me getting your E mail if you don't type in just my E mail addy without the No spam on it. Here is an old picture of how Wind Lass came out.
