Black paint or ‘Boot-Topping’?

Military troops will tell you that there isn’t much distinction between boot topping and boot paint. Actually, the black coating applied between the deck and waterline is known as boot-topping. In addition, it is made with sulfur or lime and has a liquidy, thick viscosity.
