That is not correct!
Once again (and for the last time)I will caution the reader to research this subject on his/her own before taking the word of a store clerk.
Even a cursory visit to BoatUS or WestMarine's product websites will reveal that there are a number of products that require NO "splash" or "launch" to maintain the stability of their product once initial application drying has taken place. There are also some high copper content products that require wetting within 60 days of drying.
The best advice on this subject is to avoid bottom painting in a freshwater lake all together. There are a number of wax-on products and environmentally safe cleaning alternatives much better than using a toxic bottom coating.
Of course the sales commission on these products is much less, but what price do we place on the big Lake's ecological well being?
