I've read the threads here and on drlaser and on the laser list archives regarding bottom and foil treatment. Some people rave about VC underwater epoxy with teflon (VC 127 / 128) for foils.
I'm wondering why not to paint a whole bottom with this stuff? Seems it goes on as a thin layer right over gelcoat without a conversion layer (so less total paint, less added weight, easier application) -- and it's described as "rock hard" although I don't know how it compares with Awlgrip. I know you won't get the awlgrip range of colors or glossy looks, but otherwise, how does it compare?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
