Blue Water bottom paint - The Hull Truth

I have been using Petit Horizons but thinking of changing Blue Water COPPER SHIELD™ 45 which claims to be equal to Horizons.

Anyone ever try it?

I used it last year and was very happy with the results, and that was the plain coppershield 45 not the SCX. I put it over micron and it held fine, go to boatzincs.com it's only $89 a gallon get your zincs there also if you spend over a $100 shipping is free good deal.

I've used it the last three years. Works well and a great price. I used it iver micron also.

Every year I have spots to touch up I usually have to hit the chines and I like to hit the waterline I find this touching up is a bigger pain then just rolling on another coat. A gallon of Bluewater cost about the same as a Quart of micron and since it is abblative I'm not concerned with too much build up.
