Need help identifying this item.

This has been in the top drawer of my nav station since I purchased this boat.
If it's a whistle it doesn't make a sound, air blows through when the valve is pressed.
It has a cotter ring attached...

Re: Epoxy Fairing Over Interprotect 2000E

2000 covers itself without any sanding within 6 months.
If 2000 is in fact blush free West then west should fair well over un-sanded 2000?

Re: Epoxy Fairing Over Interprotect 2000E

How can it be thinned West if 2000 is blush free?

2000 is very rough, shouldn't that be tooth enough?

Re: Epoxy Fairing Over Interprotect 2000E

Thanks guys.
I'll look into epiglass.
I could sand it if I have to.

I think it's odd that I can't find any inquiries on the Internet for putting epoxies on 2000e. :banghead:

Other than...

Re: Epoxy Fairing Over Interprotect 2000E

Im aware about the chemical bond with the anti fouling paint.

Re: Varnish Over Epoxy

Reefmagnet,
I'm aware that epoxy doesnt contain UV filters which is why it's very important for top coating with varnish high in uv filters.
