Prop Antifouling

[Jabs]

What is the best way to avoid growth on a bronze folding prop?

I have tried both polishing and Propguard with mixed results?

Thanks

Tony.

I used Hempels Prop O Drev last year.
Comes in an aerosol with an associated primer.
I sanded mine off with a flap wheel and applied about 3 primer coats and 6 coats of the stuff itself.
Seemed to work for me.
Noticed no marked reduction in motoring speed at the end of the season which was not the case with the other stuff I have tried.

Why not just polish it well and leave it at that ?
