    Does any one have experience with silicon bottom paint on aluminium?

    I've seen ships come up on dock after five years of service and just need pressure washing. Aside from the extreme requirements for humility and temperature during application. I'm intrested in the performance on smaller vessels namely sailboats.

    I'm toying with a long term cruising cat.
