Doesn't coating with epoxy and bottom paint sorta defeat the purpose (and
money spent on!) galvanizing? I need to know, since next winter I gotta do
something about the rusty mess in my P19. I'm thinking sandblasting, rust
converting, followed by epoxy of some sort then antifouling paint atop that
(whatever Bill Combs did seemed to work).
