Paint suggestion needed for cabin interior
Marine vs. non-marine is a point well taken, and I enjoy finding non-marine
substitutes myself. But with the small quantity used, it didn't seem a big deal at the time. But you've got me wondering; would oil base paint encourage mildew more than water base? I know you can add a mildewcide to paint, but because mildew had been a problem, I jumped on the Petit product. "Rich Hampel" wrote in message ... Ditto on the oil based paint. If you can spray (no runs and sags and dribbles), good old Rustoleum works well on interior surfaces. Otherwise, a properly thinned oil based paint is long lasting and trouble free..... apply with the 'roll and tip' method.

Oil base paint is tough, durable and washable. As well as a lot easier to use than a lot of the boat paints. I also don't believe everything I take on my boat has to be carried aboard in a "West Marine" bag, alot of the stuff I use comes aboard in a "Wal-Mart" bag. MMC "MLapla4120" wrote in message ... Hi, In an effort to do less varnishing and to achieve a more traditional look, I'm going to paint sections of my interior with off white paint. The trim which is teak and other hardwood will remain varnished. I'm looking for a good paint. If anyone else has done this let me know the paint you used. Thanks |

Paint suggestion needed for cabin interior
Garland,
Our local Ace hardware sells small bottle of 25% TBT for house painting here in FL. And being here in FL, we have to try to keep the boats as dry as possible, since the place is mostly swamp. It's essential to make sure the wood is dry before painting. Any existing mildew can be killed with bleach. MMC. "Garland Gray II" wrote in message news:qnusc.52827$pJ1.11515@lakeread02...
