Ed just dove on his prop and bottom and found them to be very clean. Here is how he used anhydrous lanolin to protect the prop--and some other thoughts.
Apply the lanolin with a brush then heat the prop with a paint gun just befor launch warm up a little and paint it on again , don't heat again with the paint gun. Its very sticky , you won't like it if you get it on yourself. As for the bottom paint, petit SR-60, 3 gal. I didn't do it right with the rudder, I shined it all up and then just painted it, SS reacted with the copper in the bottom paint and I have an oster/barnical garden. Next time I will clean and paint with an epoxy paint, then bottom paint or paint with cold zinc spray paint, Some say the zinc is very effective on all metal parts in stead of bottom paint.
