Applying Coppercoat antifouling to a catamaran requires precise environmental conditions and careful timing to avoid rain-induced damage. The owners of a catamaran in Carriacou, Grenada, perform the final application after completing the sanding process. They mix the epoxy-based antifouling in half-kits, combining 25 centiliters of resin, 25 centiliters of hardener, 2 centiliters of specialized thinner, and 2.1 kilograms of copper powder per batch.20:21 The crew emphasizes the importance of accurate ratios to ensure proper polymerization.19:31 They note that applying the product in the early morning helps manage ambient temperature and humidity, which are critical factors in the Caribbean during the start of the cyclone season.17:45 The team successfully coats the second hull, noting that the application was more effective than the first due to better shade and cooler air.25:24 They highlight that while Coppercoat is sensitive to moisture during the curing phase, the relatively dry climate of Carriacou offers an advantage over more humid islands like Martinique or Guadeloupe.31:02
