I am willing to bet they don’t know this and are doing this incorrectly and we will see giant chips of blue paint floating around in it within weeks. At least that will make it easier to remove in a couple of years.

I guess the good news is, one less thing for taxpayers to spend money on to remediate.
If the end game is to to undo his damage, at least peroxide is cheaper to remove paint than 100 workers scraping the bottom. Finally, a small win for taxpayers, and a BIG win for us proud TDS leftists.
