[Public-List] Imron vs. Awlgrip

[George Dinwiddie]

Hi, John,

Imron is slightly softer than Awlgrip, allowing it to be buffed or 
repaired more easily.  I'd not heard of Awlgrip 2000 before, so perhaps 
it's Awlgrip modified to be more like Imron.

Costs and looks are pretty similar, I think.  We've got an Imron job 
that's 30-35 years old.  Where it's not nicked by anchors or piers, it 
looks pretty good.  A few years back, at Towney's suggestion, I buffed 
it with 3M Finesse-It and was amazed at the shine.
