In Response To: System 3 Hull Paint (Larry Pfisterer)

: I am planning to paint the hull and varnish the deck of my Arctic Tern when
: construction is complete. I'll be using Z-Spar Flagship on the deck and
: have been looking at the S3 water-based topcoat for the hull. They claim
: it is easier to use and less toxic than other 2 part lpu products like
: AWLGRIP amd Interlux but still very durable. Can anybody out there share
: their experience with the S3 lpu paint? Does it perform as advertised?
: Thanks

: Larry

I bought some and plan to use it on my baidarka, but I haven't yet tested it. If everything I've researched on this is accurate, It should be much better than varnish for UV protection, durrability, and it is not amber colored.
