    naturewaterboy Steel Drum Tuner

    Was this coating tested by the California group that tested bottom paints? I've forgotten who they were, but they had a lot of $ to print fancy brochures about their test results. They only tested a very few boats, and only a few products. I have that literature here somewhere. From what I remember, they had a silicone coating. Was that Ecological Coatings product? What were the conclusions of the group that did the testing and comparisons?
