Finsulate Antifouling Wrap

[Gonegray]

Has anyone out there used this product in lieu of bottom paint? It's been used quite a bit in Europe and to some extent in the US, looks like mostly in California. Wondering if this is a good/new alternative to bottom paint? Will appreciate any information you can share!

Hmmm...not one response. Isn't anyone curious about this new alternative to bottom paint? We are going to look into this further in hopes that it is something better than the options we have available now. Will let you all know what we find out!

Curious enough to google:

And the Finsulate website says the company works directly with "wrap installation companies and distributors"

Thanks for providing the links! Since my original post I have talked with someone at Prism Graphics in Seattle who installs the Finsulate wrap. Currently waiting for a quote for our new R29S. Still not sure we will go with this new material as we are in the process of information gathering but it's an interesting alternative to paint.
