I bought 3 gallons of Micron 66 4 years ago....should be the same
formula.....each Spring, I put a light coat of the 66 paint on the
bottom....the 3 gallons has now been consumed. And there is Micron
CSC under the 66. I saw a boat hauled yesterday with CSC paint that
lies about 200 feet from my boat in the mooring field and not one
barnacle that I could see on the bottom......a few on prop and shaft
but not many.
Next Spring will see a 'fresh coat'......just not sure what paint it
will be.
I think Rich Knowles, out of Nanimo, B.C. , is still having 'prayer
meetings' directing the marine growth to my boat and not all the others.

Rob,
It isn't really clear, did you put a fresh coat on each spring or is
this
four years use on the same application?
If it's the former, they may have changed the formula. If it's the
latter
you probably just used up all the copper in the paint and it's time
for a
fresh coat.

For the past 4 sailing seasons, I have used Micron 66....the first 3
seasons/haulouts, the bottom was void of any marine growth, and no
slime.....didn't even need a pressure wash.
This haulout (season #4), the bottom was infested with
barnacles....not a
few scattered around, a significant number all over....I wet sanded,
which
removed the most of the little critters (and a lot of the 66) but
there are
still traces of the 'little critters'. Not sure if I will sand them out
completely or simply paint over them next Spring.
Anybody have this problem and how did you finally deal with it?
On a further antifouling paint story, years back in the Binnacle, a
fellow
sailor/racer approached the shelves of antifouling paints....he stops
and
pulls out a brass 'fishing scale'......I watch......he puts a gallon
of a
brand on the scale, then another, and another, etc. He
chooses a gallon. Naturally, I had to go over and ask what he was
doing "weighing the amount of copper in each paint Bob.....this gallon
weighs the most and that's the one I am putting on 'Apocalypse', his
40 ft,
home made in his back yard, race machine.
Maybe that's how I will choose my next gallon of antifouling paint!
