[Public-List] Interior paint

[Stephen Gwyn]

Hi,

After consulting several wooden boat forums, I went
with exterior latex house paint. The consensus
seemed to be if it was good enough for *very* humid
places (like the outside of a house, or a bathroom)
it was good enough for *fairly* humid places (like
the inside of a boat). Apparently significant
improvements to the paint have been made, even
in the last 5 years.

It was much cheaper. It cleans up with water, so any
messes I made were easy to remove. I was only doing
part of the cabin, but I could get it colour matched.

Only time will tell if it will last, but it looks
like new after 2 years at least. The main drawback
was I applied in January when it's cold and
humid, so it took a very long time to dry.
