MDR-720 transducer paint

[GandJ]

Water-based transducer paint -- anyone know if this stuff is available in the UK?

Not as far as I know (and I have looked before) the 2L tins of International Micron Optima are to big even for my use so I may try to get some smaller containers at West Marine if they will ship it with other stuff.

I approached ASAP-SUPPLIES (non-trade enquiry) who import various goods from the USA but they showed no interest even though I'm sure it would sell well here -- cannot see any ingredients that would make it harmful in the EU -- comes in display packs of 12 I think.

I will see if I can get a couple of packs of 12 direct then, will put a shameless plug at an outragious price on here if I get some.

I've never found a problem applying a thin coat of regular solvent-based antifouling on depth transducers (but I don't have Nasa kit).

Thanks, bythor, I'll look them up.

Some available on Ebay, but at £22.50 for 59ml seems very pricey.
