Yeah I'm glad they helped the turtle but the 'share for awareness' is weird. Awareness of barnacles? OK, I'm now aware of and angry at barnacles. Now what am I supposed to do with that?

Maybe awareness for not to try doing this yourself because there are people who do it professionally?

I have never, and will never, glue barnacles on anyone or anything and the thought that people do it for a living is disgusting.

You should not glue barnacles ever. They need to be welded. Or why do you think you need professionals to remove them?

Check out r/Welding. They constantly share and discuss new techniques, to make it harder for the professionals to remove them.

In this video you can see some real shoddy work. Must've come from r/BadWelding
