Moose\'s copper antifoul: update and 5 year guarantee...

Thanks to studgies doing surface prep (he sanded the old stuff and went a bit grey) and then Tico who turned up with kneepads and rollers and lots of other things, the boat is all antifouled with copper- enriched Trilux. It should be black, but after whamming in about a kilo of copper per litre, it ends up sort-of copper-sparkly metallic gritty black.

Oh, Moose turned up to supervise as usual, and advises me of the rock-solid five year guarantee, which guarantees that in five years, i can have all my money back if it isn't February 2010, which is a lot better than some of these flimsy bits of paper, i must say.

Is this the first case on record of a leopard with a glitter bottom?

Given all that extra copper laying around, you just "Might" need extra anodes on the shafts and props etc, but that said if Tico was there he would have that angle covered!!!
Lets just hope this lot doesn't fall off.

Have you left any un-coppered patches as controls?
What is the approx cost addition per litre?

Glad you got the stuff slapped on, I wanted to pop over today if only to meet the legendary no1 Moose and Tico but hey life is a bitch and so is work!

I think I need to swap to black anti foul cos I look better in grey than blue!
