<DIV>Hi all, </DIV>
<DIV>After almost 4 years Fun Zone is getting some bottom paint. She's on the hard awaiting better weather so I pulled the floorboards and did a little wipe down and clean up. There were a lot of clear crystals that looked like salt. Could this be? The boat doesn't leak in the keel area so I'm dumbfounded. Last checked 6 or 8 months ago, no crystal like stuff then. </DIV>
<DIV>I want to get a couple of good coats of paint on the bottom of the keel (underside). Its way trashed and rusty so I'm looking for a good primer so that multiple coats of paint will stick and inhibit rust. Has anyone used Pettit Rustblock Steel Primer? good,bad or ugly? I'm not interested in epoxying and fairing the keel at this point.</DIV>
<DIV>thanks in advance</DIV>
