Painting floats
Submitted by Yewiefish85 on Thu, 2013-07-11 18:50
Hi guys, sorry if this question has been asked but do any of you guys paint your crab pot floats? And if so, what paint?, I have tried painting the polystyrene ball floats with two different paints for the same result (melted float), any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers Yewie

Use
Use clear bottles and paint the inside...stops the paint messing the boat

I have used Hi vis Orange,
I have used Hi vis Orange, Green and Yellow on mine. Hasn't melted, and lasts ages. Needless to say, don't think anyone else will have 3 colour striped floats :D
