Antifouling Additives?

[LONG_KEELER]

The hot chemical in chilis is Capsaicin . It's a clever bit of biochemistry by the plant as this is a chemical that stimulates pain receptors in mammals. It has no effect on non-mammalians. Therefore in antifoul paint it will stop sealions licking your hull, but it will do nothing to the barnacles.

Pity that Sea Horse bloke didn't pick barnacles.

We would happily support barnacle designated areas where they would want to go to. i.e lots of food, social services, wifi , health plans .

Anybody here tried AWlgrip Gold http://www.boatpaint.co.uk/acatalog/Awlgrip-Awlstar-Gold-Label-Antifouling.html

I am told it is very good but I have never seen anyone talk about it.
