We have a Canadian boat in Newfoundland. They stock ABC4 in St Johns, they say that in those northern waters ABC3 is not called for so they use the “milder”
ABC4 formulation. It’s pretty similar stuff.

Look up PPG (Pittsburg Paint and Glass) and look for a commercial distributer.

One year by accident I spilled some muratic acid on a bit of the hull. No barnacle growth there. Next year I sprayed a dilution of muriactic acid on place, reduced growth. I have not done that in a couple of years but may try again next bottom job. ABC3 bottom coat.
