veneziani antifouling

[andyball]

Anyone got any experience of veneziani antifouling: particularly the rafaello bianca racing ?

What about marineparts.co.uk.....still going? reliable? (no phone numbers and a PO box address)

Thanks in advance

Have only used the venz..... for my inflatable, special for rubber boats, very effective in the atlantic coats and meddy.

Used it 2 years ago as well as the stripper.
Rated the stripper really highly - got down to the gelshield through around 5 years of build up.
Not sure that the antifould did anything that the others cannot. Using blakes just now as its what the chandler had in stock and I couldn't be fashed with driving over to Wetherby or wherever.
Price around the same as International and Blakes
Hope this helps

Far better than the crap sold as antifouling by XM which on my yacht was a total trades description scam.

Never tried "Veneziani" antifouling, but out in a 6/7 a couple of weeks ago after a night out we did try the "Pepperoni" deck paint, and topsides in an interesting shade of "Quattro Stagioni".



Sorry.

Just couldn't resist.

thanks for the replies.....it's for an aluminium hull, and international claim only"average" antifouling strength for trilux(hard type),while veneziani reckon rather more than average (whatever that may mean) for their aluminium compatible one(self-polishing). We hope to leave her in for a full 12 months, so trying to get the best stuff.

Will prob. try the veneziani, perhaps with an extra coat....
