[Alberg30] Hull two part paint

[chrishardy]

A few years back I put Sterling linear polyurethane ( now sold at West 
Marine) on a set of steel spiral stairs in a house we built. The painter 
than put it on was a pro and he applied it with a brush with the proper 
brushing reducer. They came out great. I also sprayed some on a sample 
piece and it came out good as well. Than was 10 years ago, the owner of 
the stairs has seven kids and the finish is holding up very well . The 
paint flowed out into a very high gloss finish without any brush marks. 
The Sterling Company says that people brush or roll their paint on boats 
all the time with great results. You definitely don't want to spray it 
without full body armor It has Isocianates in it which is like super 
glue the stuff that you can glue fingers together with. It  also may 
make you break out with a rash if you become sensitized to it. 
Apparently some people are more sensitive than others.......  chris
