I recently purchased a Flexofold propeller and discussed applying bottom paint to the prop with the factory technician. He said not to do that, and I figure he thought the paint would gum up the gearing mechanism and cause the blades to not deploy. That makes common sense to me. I was thinking perhaps to paint the blades only and apply something like Lanacote to the gears. Some folks believe that the greasiness of Lanacote also provides some temporary antifouling properties.
I wanted to ask the members if they have experience with this and what they did to protect the folding prop from fouling. Thanks, Matthew
