Re: Coppercoat bottom paint

Hi Ewan,

Not a concern for me since I am based in FL, but reading between the lines I assume that for the northern boaters that haul every year there...

Re: Coppercoat bottom paint

If it does last ten years then buildup shouldn't be too much of a problem but as you found on your boat, more frequent application of hard paint can certainly require an occasional stripping.

So...

Re: Coppercoat bottom paint

Ah, AF, antifouling, I should have guessed. Maybe a language difference. Here in the southern US I might have said BP (bottom paint).

Have not yet seen any reports on the nano-particle BP. ...

Re: Coppercoat bottom paint

Not immediately but if one keeps a boat many years, or buys a used boat that someone else has had many years, this stuff could build up to a thick, heavy coat on the bottom.

Besides, I already...

Re: Coppercoat bottom paint

OK last post and I'm going to bed. First, what you are posting I don't consider a discussion. I've had plenty of discussions and this ain't one.

Second, I did not directly quote you in the...

Re: Coppercoat bottom paint

Perhaps you should try reading my posts.

For example, pertaining to your comments above I responded.



So, since you wanted to nitpick on the semantics I corrected my statement to reflect...

Re: Coppercoat bottom paint

OK, I'll be more precise. What you did was compare my issue about different standards for sewage dumping by individuals and municipalities to individuals vs the military owning nuclear weapons. ...

Re: Coppercoat bottom paint

My concern is what do you do in ten years, if it really does last that long. Now you have a hull coated with a copper/epoxy mix that could be really hard to remove.

So, do the directions for...

Re: Coppercoat bottom paint

By using a valid argument like comparing sewage to nuclear weapons? :rolleyes:

I still do not see or admit the invalidity of my comparison. Municipalities dump millions of gallons of untreated...

Re: Coppercoat bottom paint

Yes, I though I made that perfectly clear in my post. Just in case you missed it I will copy the relevant sentence here.
