The forum upgrade is complete. It was very uneventful. Please post issues in this thread.

Due to a high level of "bad actor" traffic on the community site Jaysen is implementing a forced verification to confirm that you are a human. This is a PITA and he hates it too. The 3.2 seconds it takes for the one time you have to do it every couple hours is much preferable to the hours we are losing to morons clogging the CPU on the servers. Jaysen is still looking to solve this a bit less intrusively and without cost to BBC. Hopefully the magic solution will appear out of thin air soon. Jaysen is already annoyed.

Sterling Flatting solution

Post by DB Michel »

Hello,

Has anyone used Sterling flatting solution, when adding this to the top coat does it change the structure of the paint ?



Thanks

Have used the Awlgrip equivalent with good results on sailboat deck nonskid. I'm sure that is does impact the crosslinked structure in some way but we have had no issues with the deck in the 4 years since done. This was a liquid slurry of some kind of silica I think by the way. Sheen was adjusted by the amount added to the mixed paint.
