Not Bill but I can't tell much difference. It did take a more latex than oil based paint. So weight is should be minimally different. Oil based goes on easier.

Bill, I am wondering if thinning the paint wouldn't help seal those pin holes. It might 'flow out' better? I thinned the first couple of coats so that it would soak in the fabric hoping it would give an even color inside the boat and it did. Now I wonder if I shouldn't h ave thinned all the coats?

: Questions,Bill

: Once sealed how did the weight seem to feel versus other finishes?
: Was it flexible enough to avoid cracking?
: How well did it hold up versus weather? Obstacles? Etc?

: I'm looking for alternate materials, because, even assuming
: something is available there, going to Manila for supplies is a
: little like descending into hell.
