Ahah! Finally got to dive on my prop last week (the one coated with cfp, ) It was badly coated with barnacles after 7 months,I dont know if it would last longer if I dived every 5-6 weeks and cleaned it but that was not the idea of the exercise. I dont think I will use this system again. Maybe ill do a test piece that is slightly illegal, and see how that goes. catch you later .

Thanks for posting that theace. I was waiting for the outcome of using CFP. So I won't be using
that. Prop Speed is working for me.

We are in colder water than you down here in tassie but we use Lanotec spray put on after heating the prop up with a heat gun so it gets absorbed into the bronze.

Seems to keep most barnacles off, probably %60-70 better than nothing.

+1 for the post, I can add that surfboard wax performs about the same.
Oh well next time
Cheers Bob
