Cleaning my own bottom (that sounds weird) I am appauled at the massive clouds of paint that slough off from simple wiping. multiplied by millions of boats in the ocean and that is an ecological disaster with all the toxic stuff and heavy metals, Yes Copper is a heavy metal, but it should last 5-10 times that of a ablative and drastically reduce the amount entering the water. As for performance, If the first six weeks are any indication, I will rarely have to clean her.h2ojunkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01829002117919043509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-41953711736244023.post-11803374534662038762015-11-23T11:36:43.004-05:002015-11-23T11:36:43.004-05:00Very glad to see this post!
