Painting a crawfish paddle

Can I just use regular latex or do you think that would chip off in the boiling water? If so what kind of paint or sealant would be best?

Is it a wooden paddle or a metal one?
I'd spray it with auto paint. That would be the most durable.
If you want to go cheaper, find something that you can put a polyurethane clear over.

What paint will stand up to boiling water and not poison the pot?

That's why I said auto paint. Paint with a hardener will chemically cure and not release anything into the crawfish pot.
Latex paint is going to give off some chemicals when it heats up.
Technically, none of it is FDA approved for food use.

Just use a 2 part epoxy like west systems I have never done it over the paint but I don't see why you couldn't

why?

Just paint the handle and leave the business end uncoated.

Painted wood and boiling water don't go together.
Auto paint, latex, two-part epoxy; I wouldn't use any of 'em.

Go get or build a stainless paddle. Problem solved.

I'm pretty sure true natural milk paint is safe for food.

"What's a crawfish paddle"
Seems like they are referring to the one you stir the pot with.
I'm from NELA though

Why not just carve the wood or use a woodburner?

You can buy a crawfish paddle for $20 or use a piece of 2x2 to stir the pot, unless the one you are painting has sentimental value and absolutely has to have that one painted and used in a crawfish boil buy another one and paint it.

If you must have a painted paddle, just hang it up for a decoration. Don't dip painted wood in a pot of food.
I made my crawfish paddle from a spare length of oak floor board one day when I was bored and the router was plugged in. It looks shitty, but it stirs fine.

There are food grade paints. But I wouldn't do it. It will chip off and you will be eating paint chips.
