ebb has not used this product nor do I advocate its use. This is information and for entertainment only. Having seen one Ariel here in horrible trouible, and if I hadn't been a woodworker 1/2 of my life, I might think I could get it to float with a brush and a roller. I'm almost certain that I will use a rubber product like this one for 338's deck, anchor locker, battery box, motor well, and bilge. To describe it, this stuff is more like a hypalon (pliable) than a Rino spray-on truck bed liner material (hard). One part, low VOC urethane.
From the literature: Sani-tred is permanent, never has to be redone, and easy to repair as new molecularly bonds to old. It compleatly seals and smothers corrosion, elimanates all furture oxidation. Coating remains flexible and watertight at extreme temperatures above and below the waterline. Yes you can cover rust with it and it will never bubble up under the coating!
Some guys literally paint the whole boat. Guys what don't have yachts. Saying on the boatdesign.net channel that too smooth hulls stick to the water, bumps breaks the suction, boat goes faster. No more bottom fairing for me!
Direct quote: "Sani-tred is the only waterproofing system that can repair and seal any salt or fresh water ship, work, or pleasure boat, deck, bilge area, vertical or inverted marine structure premanently, no matter how damaged or deteriorated. Sani-tred products have saved many wooden, fiberglass, and steel marine structural components that have been determined to be unrepairable with all other known marine products. If you feel your vessel is beyond hope, call or e-mail and we will provide specialized info to solve virtually any waterproofing or repair problem."
Sheeeesh! Git-Rot can't match that!
Certainly three of the most extrordinary sentences I've run into this century.
Enjoy.
Get your 'salt or fresh water work' a new rubber skin.
And never, never, never, never give in! Never. HNY
