Sounds good, will send them next week. No idea how long it will last, but is very easy to apply and cheap, so not too big a deal. Suspect it will not be as good as the serious antifoulings, but we have some pretty smart chemists involved who will establish what is the antifouling agent and hopefully how/why it works, then see if we can increase the amount or it's efficiency.

Sure Rob, can do - swan river someplace or probably Mandurah estuary, just say where you want it.
Oh I guess you mean what lattitude - well Perth is about average temperature, noy tropical or too cold - this is a record warm El Nina summer with warmer water temperatures and more cyclones than usual.
Send me some squares and I'll chuck them in underwater on some rope to hold it down.
I guess on a jetty leg or a mooring chain maybe would work best.
How long did you think (might work well for a whole year.
Guess you'll chuck some pieces on yur own private jetty there at Southport.
Strangely enough, my antifoul is still goood since nearly a yearnow - though it dried out ince every day because of the tide drying out down in Albany.
Have excellent weathe rforecast this coming week - really hope to return top Perth with the boat and get to use it more regularly and get out to surf Rottnestduring winter.

Date: Friday, 11 February, 2011, 12:08I have a new antifouling (biodegrabable, cheap, easily applied) to test. I will post a 100mm square piece of coated material to anyone who will hang it in the water and check it every couple of weeks and report back on progress. If you can do this, please pm me at harryproa @gmail.com with details of where it will be hung.
