: Having used Awlcraft, I can say that it would be terrible for use
: on a SOF. I only brought it up as a point of comparison between
: the cost of solvent-free linseed oil paint and professional
: finishes. Jamestown Distributors sells a gallon of base for
: $185, a quart of the required catalyst is $70, and the
: proprietary reducer is another $70. All of these products say
: "FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY" in bold lettering. I
: sprayed in a spray booth with a full-face respirator with
: supplied air using HVLP equipment. This is truly not something a
: home builder can likely do at all, let alone safely.

: Coelan's great to work with, though. Goes on really nicely, easy to
: control, self-leveling, super clear, super tough.

: Moral of the story- don't spray professional industrial coatings at
: home (unless you have a spray booth, the right spray equipment,
: and a respirator with supplied air).

Hi Mike,

Jamestown Distributors also sells Kirby marine paint that I've wanted to try. Not as high gloss as most marine paints.
