Drying Out an Iron Keel - Hunter 23'

One caution about using zinc chromate primer. Zinc chromate is a form of hexavalent chromium, which can cause numerous health problems, including lung cancer. You need to use at least a dust/mist respirator (Home Depot, West Marine) when you spray it on or sand it. BrianW

P.S. It also makes ya CRAZY!! (Ask Dave)

Thank you for mentioning the safety issue which is so important.

As for Crazy, I got that nickname when I tackled a movie star for destroying gear on my boat. However, I did get high once in a while while making shine. Although funny, Brian is correct when working around chemicals and dust. Thank you for that info Brain. Any time, call or email and I will be glad to help with what I do know but sometimes I could also be wrong too. I am not perfect.

Take care all. I will be off line for a week next week repairing sailboats for the Boy Scouts.
