Hi Ed

Four years on and working fine. Had to do some small repairs on the hull to plug un-used through hulls and when I finished I covered with Coppercoat. It works for me.

Re: Has Anyone Used Copper Coat Antifouling ?

Re: Has Anyone Used Copper Coat Antifouling ?

This year I've been down with the scouring pad 3 times. Same findings as before. Hard growth mostly on soft comes off very easily. Very large areas with none at all, some areas with more but not very...

Re: Has Anyone Used Copper Coat Antifouling ?

An update, just in case anyone is interested.

Re: Has Anyone Used Copper Coat Antifouling ?

Hi Capitain Mike

When I am on the boat I normally run the engine, generally more than once a week. Having it stationary for that length of time was unusual and only because of the re-wiring...

Re: Has Anyone Used Copper Coat Antifouling ?

I tried tying black plastic bags twice in the past, once I came back to no bag, which made me a pollutant, the other lasted longer and it had so much growth inside that I went for plan 'Y'. The fresh...

Re: Has Anyone Used Copper Coat Antifouling ?

Personally, I got the idea from an American fisherman who swore his wooden boat's antifouling lasted a lot longer after he added it. As I said, I did a test with a control lot, half with and half...

Re: Has Anyone Used Copper Coat Antifouling ?

Follow up to my earlier posts.

I hauled up in May but didn't give the hull a pressure wash. As I have noted before, I had growth on the through-hulls, where it appears that the epoxy did not...

Re: Has Anyone Used Copper Coat Antifouling
