The paint is Interlux Brightsides, one part polyurethane. There are
some good tips for thinning, brushing and preparation.


I have used the Brightsides by Interlux before. Goes on great by hand...

I've used it also. It looks very good if thinned properly and
applied with the right brushing technique. It takes practice to get
it right but I thought the video did a good job of pointing out some
of the basics.


The best tip I can give to anybody using it is don't try to use it in
direct sunlight. And yes, I thinned mine for roll and tip, if I remember
correctly about 10% or so.... I found that if you put down a very thin
coat of epoxy and then put the brightsides over it before the epoxy
cures out, it's bond is almost unstoppable.
