Question:
What is the best paint or varnish to put on a wooded boat?
Below the water line
Answers:
help pls!, hw fast is 1 knot (as in speed of a boat)?
Science Teacher, as usual, has it right. Antfouling paint (after a barrier coat of course) is the ONLY paint to use below the waterline.what is the cheapest trailer brand?
Anything "Marine"If you were going to buy an old beat up sailboat cheap (relatively)?
Marine (spar) varnish. That is what it is made for.shipping law relating to places of refuge for vessels in distress & hazardous cargo? Help!?
never lead based, never latex they destroy the environment. Go by your local marine supply store and ask them. More than likely you will be introduced to a whole line of "Marine" labelled paints that are recommended. Be prepared to pay more money per gallon than you would for home interior paint.Below the water line you need antifouling paint if you are in salt or brackish water. Bottom paint.
Depends on if you want to still see the wood, ie, want a clear coat, or if you don't mind hiding the wood.
anyone know about a boat,50s,fiberglass,called "P14"?
If your boat is going to be kept on the hard between uses, you won't need antifouling bottom paint, which is never clear.
directory for manufacturer in marine air conditioning?
Either way, I'd recommend giving the bare wood some serious coats of West System epoxy, or other 2 part epoxy, with a barrier coating additive if you don't need a clear coat. (6 or 7 coats with barrier additive) Then you can put bottom paint directly onto that.
How do I refinish teak wook that has been bleached by the weather?
If you want a clear coat, you might be able to get away with just west system. But epoxy is not very UV resistant. So you might want to coat it with a couple layers of Epifanes or AwlGrip UV resistant Clear Coat.
It is possible to change from Fuel Injection system to carburator System ?
Whatever you use after the epoxy, the general rule is 2 part polyurethanes are stronger than one part paints (and more expensive)

the best bottom pain, or anti-fouling paint (below the water line) is made by "Interlux paint co.".
For stain and polyurethane paints always go with "ZAR" products.
why does my curser blink with the hour glass?
good ol' Science teacher and Audio God seem to be the only responders who read the question about BELOW the water line......and their answer, a good anti-fouling bottom paint is right....how do you change the gear case lubricants on a mariner 4 stroke?
I am going to go a step further.the question asks about "wooded" boat...."wooded" is a specific term meaning the paint has been removed to expose the wood.....if you're starting from bare wood, either thin the anti-fouling paint about 20% so it soaks in; or the very very best thing to do is hunt up a source of red lead primer from Kirby paint in New Bedford, Mass....then over coat with Pettit's Ultima.a soft, ablative paint......the soft paints hold better to a wood boat which move around, swells, shrinks and all that better then a hard paint like Trinidad by Pettit.

If you meant a wooden boat, the answer is still the same........an anti fouling bottom paint
