Copper coat.. Why why why
Does COPPER COAT cause any problems with regards to electrolytic/galvanic action?
No. With the resin carrier insulating each copper sphere, the final coating is inert and non-conductive. A current can not pass through COPPER COAT and this coating does not cause or promote electrolysis
or cathodic decay. Consequently COPPER COAT can be safely applied to
metal structures such as iron keels and steel or aluminium craft (after
the application of an appropriate epoxy primer). The property of electrical
non-conduction in metallic powders including copper was first
discovered in 1890 by Eduard Branley and is known as the "Branley
Effect". Sacrificial anodes should be fitted in the usual manner.
So it is possible but very important to prime the hull thoroughly with a good layer of pure epoxy primer before over-coating with the Copper coat,
but basically you should NEVER do it
because any small damage and your fucked..
See here the result on Wildcard.. (Now all Copper coat has 2 be grinded off etc,
thickness of hull measured, sections around the 8 holes (so far) be cut out and new welded in...)
