From reading the blurb it sounds very much like "Copper Bot" that (I
believe) was originally a British product and consisted basically of
copper powder and epoxy resin. I believe that the original method of
application was to mix the copper and epoxy and paint it on. Later
systems (again I believe) applied the resin and when it got "sticky"
somehow applied the copper powder.
My understanding is that to be efficient the bottom had to be
vigorously scrubbed at periods to uncover new copper.
I have seen only one boat that had it applied and apparently it is not
a popular system.
