anyone using ACRYLIC LATEX EXTERIOR paint for topsides, deck, etc. ?
How is/was it ?
Any application caveats ? Thanks. -- s/v Mutiny Rhodes Bounty II lying Oriental, NC WDB5619 |

Hello Courtney,
I knew a fellow that used latex house paint on his wooden catboat. It always looked fresh and could be touched-up at a moment's notice. I would think it a little too soft for use on the deck, but I have never tried it. Dave |

Take a look at:

Now THAT'S a useful URL about 100% Latex. It deserves to be aired out, every year or two... Thanks Brian W |

Has the nice flat no gloss finish, could fix and touch up years after application with almost no visible color difference. Deck was non skid so 'wear' was only on top of grit thus most of the deck paint never had actual contact. Anyway, it worked great, even in the cockpit. paul oman -- "Living on Earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the Sun every year." |

used to make and never had any problems. Sam |

The "virus" indication you are seeing may simply be a message that a popup
