Easy Alternative to Antifouling Paint
Published: Friday, February 13, 2015
Some time back, in the 1980’s, the French Navy were moored for a week on Biscayne Bay, off the coast of France. When they pulled up anchor and left, the fishermen found their oysters in very poor condition. The toxins from the huge fleet’s antifouling obviously had a devastating effect. Thus a Canadian, innovative, marine group set about developing a unique, underwater, “Foul Release” wax that helps prevent attachment and provides a more easily cleanable surface as a much better environmental alternative.
Since then, Easy-On Bottom Coating has been used by over 100,000 boaters globally. This unique, clear coating forms an instant molecular bond to any hull; be it fibreglass, aluminum pontoons, wood, inflatables or fenders. Easy-On can also be used over old, sound, hard antifouling paint. The THINNER it is applied, the BETTER it works! You can treat a 24 ft boat “in minutes” with just a soft cloth and one 15 Oz bottle of Easy-On, MSR $49.95.
Friction is also reduced, and the hull tends to self clean as it moves through the water, so you are getting increased performance and using less fuel. The New Zealand Coast Guard reported up to 2 MPH better top speed over a measured mile with this product.
Easy-On kept 98 % of Zebra Mussels off static plates in a Lake St Clair test, done by a leading University researcher. It is rated full season freshwater and intermittent salt water use (racked and trailered boats). Fountain boat enthusiasts and competitive boaters have used Easy-On for years.
A boater’s tip: During the season, if you see any fuzz develop, pull over to a sand bar and sponge wipe the boat clean. Each year, no need to remove the wax, just clean the hull as usual and apply one more THIN, THIN coat, allow 12 hours to cure, and launch. How Easy-On is that!
