Hi Kathleen,

2,000 hours was deemed long enough because of the
characteristics of the product specifically:

* The product does not mix with water so the animal is not subjected to the
product.
* The product is only one molecule thick at any spot
* The product is non-toxic and bio-degradable
* The product contains compounds that are located within the animal itself

The product is not like an oil slick. The product floats on the surface of
the water but it is only one molecule thick. At this scale you can not see
it or feel it. The surface film on your pond is many thousand times thicker.
The product does not adhere to fish. If they would jump up through the
product they might have a few molecules on them while in the air but when
they re-entered the water these few molecules would detach and attempt to
rejoin the membrane above.

Hello,

It's had over 2,000 hours of testing with live fish, plants and even
a turtle with no ill effects detected. It's important to note that
the product does not mix with water so the fish are not subjected to
the product (even though it is non-toxic).

2,000 hours. Just over 83 days. Not hardly long term from where I'm
sitting.

So this stuff just sort of floats on the surface of the water like an
oil slick?

What if you drop a fish through it from above, or a fish jumps through
it? Can it occlude their gills?

How does it affect reproduction? What does it do to eggs, insect
larvae, tadpoles?
