[Public-List] Paint Spreader Tops

[Jim Davis]

   Mike(s)
   I'm going to side with Gord on this.  On Isa Lei I use Brightside on
   the hull, but for wood I use old fashioned Rustoleum.  Not the new
   marine stuff, but the stuff we painted our tricycles with when we were
   kids.
   Side note.  Three years I was invited to a special tour of the Morgan
   while she was going through her refit.  At one stop the head of the job
   told us about the special paint they were using on her.  As we were
   moving to the next stop I commented that I was going to have to change
   my paint of choice.  He asked me what I used and I told him Rustoleum,
   he simply said "Don't change".

   Brightside is polyurethane...very hard paint but not normally
   recommended
   for wood because with hardness comes low flexibility.  I reckon it
   worked on
   your spreaders because the oak is relatively stable with regard to
   expansion
   and contraction....
