Talk about favorite or hated suppliers, recommend good materials or sources, or anything of the same ilk. This is also a good place to suggest unique ideas and innovations you may have come up with.

I'm gonna Barrier Coat, what to use?

Post by hriehl1 »

1968 Hinterhoeller HR28

I have decided from another thread to apply a barrier coat to my soda-blasted hull. While I acknowledge that the merits of barrier coating are in dispute, my circumstance dictates that now is the time, before spring launching.

My question now is what product? There seem to be 4 general possibilities.
1. Interlux Interprotect... proven and expensive
2. West, MAS, or other name brand epoxy, proven and slightly less expensive.
3. New Hampshire no-name; http://epoxyproducts.com/; cheaper but who knows?
4. Sherwin Williams, offer many industrial products probably similar to marine retail products.

Thoughts? Thanks Hank
