[TowerTalk] Hex Beam Fiberglass Spreader Paint?

[Mike & Becca Krzystyniak]

I use an anti-fouling bottom paint.  Probabaly the same/similar properties
as the marine paint.

There was some discussion on the top-band reflector the other day regarding
a station in Europe that put up a Shared Apex Loop Array with a fiberglass
mast.  He used marine fiberglass paint to protect the fiberglass.

The good thing is that marine paint should be easy to find in FL :) Find a
good boat shop and tell them what you're doing.  I'm sure you'll get some
good advice.
