On a more serious note
The surface of the fish has micro indents. A bit like the surface of a golf ball. My wife realised this ages ago & found the answer was to take up golf instead of go sailing with me. Now, apart from some small area she does not suffer from any crustaceans. Those that she does have can easily be removed with sandpaper & a paint scraper-- from her driver, following a huge divot

My mate was part of this study. He applied the stuff to his little boat and according to John dory was still free of fouling months later. That said, he has been known to talk a load of pollocks sometimes.

I see the YBW Flatheads are still floundering and posting a load of Gibberfish and Pollocks on this thread. I wish the Slimeheads would all Scat off.

I have just bought 10 square meters of Brill skin on ebay. Anyone know what glue I need to stick them to the bottom of the boat?
Answers needed ASAP as they are starting to pong.

I bet the fish were gutted to find themselves being stuck on your hull. It is a bone of contension as to whether it will work . If not the whole project is finished
