Uses fibers as a physical barrier to barnacles rather than paint. One question, how do you remove it after it loses it potency?

I expect the hull has to be taken back to gel coat (Lot of hard work) then stuck on either by applying glue or it is self adhesive , wonder what it would be like on a 1/2 tide mud berth, all those hairs filled with mud Ugh!!!

If the glue is a strong bond more hard work to remove.

If they did a free sample I might be interested to do a test for them.:encouragement:

Oi - the queue's behind me

Seriously, if they'd guarantee it's efficacy on a mud berth, I might be persuaded to put my hand in my pocket. There's SFA else does.

Fred Drift: I wonder if a silicone wax like Mer would have any discouraging effect. If water doesn't stick, in theory, nor should mud or barnacles.

In theory.

I'm a bit leery of trying it 'cos it's next to impossible to remove the last trace of silicone and even if it doesn't keep the barnies off, it's very good at keeping paint from sticking.
