lol thats a very odd question from a science book i would expect that from a shipbuilding book not a science book from that i might expect "how would you inexpensively prevent oxidation of an object frequently exposed to water?"
wouldnt it kinda wear off after a couple days in salt water?TurboSuper wrote:Rust-proof paint?

Basically you just attach a bunch of zinc blocks to the boat and they will corrode rather than the boat. They you just need to replace them periodically. Which is a lot easier than replacing the whole boat.
