Yes. As Coppercoat is a blend of pure copper powder and two-pack epoxy resin, the coating is both strong and water-proof. After application the coating can be burnished to give a very smooth racing finish, which (as the coating is non-absorbent) is the equivalent of dry-sailing a boat – but with the advantage of anti-fouling protection allowing the boat to be kept afloat.
