Thanks folks...
I've been using a mix of turpentine, boiled linseed oil, pine tar and black paint, and was having trouble finding a mix ratio that would dry well, and not rub off on hands, sails, dogs, etc. Thought I would give the net dip idea from the book a try.
Checked with the Keller place, and the dip they sell does seem to have some anti-fouling in it... probably more chemicals than I really need.
I'll keep looking for a net dip source, and if anything turns up, I'll report back.
