Hmmm very good......... yes & that's why the paint never performs as
advertised???

Seriously if it doesn't work in say Florida then they should say so on
the tin, save that warning; when apply as directed in the thickness they
say then they can pay for subsequent slippings, maybe forevermore????

Expensive ablatives properly applied will last 12 mths mostly , they
still have some life after than but if it's a sailing boat or
displacement boat etc you'll want to haul & clean.

This life of anti foul thing is right up there with life of OMC OBs,
there are exceptions of course which the spruiking sellers seize upon to
tell of, but the majority don't last long, OMC nor antifoul, if Ficht is
involved the anti foul will last longer:-)
