Kevin McCready 83 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I'm about to antifoul and want to avoid the big buildup of mussels on the bottom of the keel. I've heard that after you lift and paint the bottom of the keel (where it rests on the cradle), you can lower the boat onto wax paper so that the antifoul doesn't stick to the steel cradle when you launch. Ideally you would hold the boat in the air until the antifoul is thoroughly dry but at $140 per hour that's a bit expensive an impractical. Does anyone know what sort of wax paper is best and where to buy it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raz88 96 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Depending on the yard where you're doing the antifouling it's worth asking whether they will hang you in the travel lift overnight and re launch you in the morning? Last I did mine I was able to organise to do that the evening before I was due to go back in and it definitely didn't cost $140 an hour Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ricka 3 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Nothing sticks to oven baking paper or could use clear polythene sheet or black too I guess Quote Link to post Share on other sites
