| Hi Airframes, Thanks for the encouragement. It is sort of a best guess thing. I have never been near any float plane or boat but I do know aluminum type surfaces do not rust even when immersed in sea water for long periods. Algae growth would be predominantly visible. Thanks again for the feedback |
