Very poor spray nozzle
The nozzle clogged almost instantly and more than half the can went to waste.

Not the best
I applied Pettit Prop Coat to my trim tabs over the winter. I followed the instructions and applied three, thin coats. The can sprayed well and the product went on flat and smooth. Unfortunately, only five weeks into our New England boating season and the trim tabs covered with Prop Coat are the ONLY surfaces on my boat that are completely loaded with small barnacles.
The props are painted with propspeed, I useTrilux33 on the drives and the hull is painted with SeaHawk Cukote. All are completely free of growth.

Easy application
This product offered quite easy application. After some masking, I applied it in several thin coats, preceded by long and vigorous shaking per the directions. It delivered a visually smooth, high-quality coating for my feathering bronze prop and bronze shaft. I applied before painting the hull, so any overspray (I did mask the hull) would be sanded and covered when applying antifoul.
All of this said - we will see this fall at haul-out how effective the product is.

Petit barnicle barrier
Despite using an electric shaker, 3 cans stopped spraying while still 80% full. Product works great if you can get it out of the can
