Whilst labouring with a tin of conventional anti fouling on a windy day I began to wonder if there is any truth behind the hype surrounding the various copper epoxy products on the market. There must surely be some OCCers out there that have taken the plunge and invested in this supposedly long life and labour saving product? If you have tried it I 'd be really interested to hear how well it worked for you?

I like the idea of this coppercoat- but find myself vacillating - I can 't find many reviews and those I can are rather mixed. Curious: What happens towards the end of life, does it die slowly or all of a sudden? How does one move forward afterwards - another coppercoat application or does the old stuff have to be removed?

Since I have to make a decision within a week I 'm probably going to go the more traditional ablative route...

... but willing to hear arguments...
