has anyone experience with copper/epoxy anti fouling. I watch a you tube channel called Luckyfish, and they're using it. he says he has to clean (wipe) the hull every two weeks, wich would be a big commitment. the people that sell it say you have to clean the hull about every 3 month, wich would be fine. If anyone has personal experience with this could you let me know please.

Unless someone owns a boat right next to yours in the same type of marine environment and has applied the product the same way you will then whatever people say is almost useless. Water temperature, water salt and mineral content, thickness applied, method applied, etc, etc all have quite a large impact on the success of the anti foul system you use. But you never know, someone may have a useful answer.

i have never seen it work successfully in se qld on boats in the water permanently ,works well on trailer boats that are in water for a couple of weeks at a time as is very hard so can handle abrasion on trailer
