Not found anyone who has used it but someone must have.
CopperCoat from AMC has been applied on 40,000+ boats the oldest of which is 19 years old and still going.
Guess which I put on my boat. And which one I sell.........

To be clear, we are talking about this: ?

I am the other boat in the yard with Windrose and was not impressed with it last year but I did not abraid the coating before launching.
This year I plan to abraid the surface really well and we shall see if it works any better.
If not, then like Windrose I shall overcoat with Copper Coat.
I have to say I used Reactive Resins Epoxies for building my boat and found them very good and reasonably priced. I am currently making up my home kitchen worktops in Olive ash finished in Reactive Resins epoxy overcoated with Epifanes Rubbed Effect Interior varnish for a nicer looking appearance.
