Ant-Fouling Paint!

ANTI-FOULING RE-VISITED!

Reading through our array of monthly magazines we have available in-store we came across an interesting article in this months Practical Boat Owner. Always packed full of great tips for boat owners this months edition puts to test 14 of the industry's best antifouling paints.  Crusier Uno, Micron Extra and Hempel Tiger Extra the antifoulings stocked by P&B are all strongly featured. If antifouling is on your list of jobs for the new year then this is a great read for you!

On the back of this article we thought it would be a great time to re-visit the antifouling topic and remind you of our selection of paints available on-line and in-store.
