>>Good question. I have no idea at the moment.

>>Now that you did that comparison of cost, I agree that the product is not very costly, just moreso than the waterbourne polyurethane that people were talking about using here.

Don't get me wrong WB polyurathane provides a wonderful finish and adequet protection, but at what cost?

To get that adequet coating you need quite a few coats and unless your set up for spray brushing is quite a bit more work than rolling.

Plus do we really need a furniture quality look on the inside of the enclosure.

Chris and I have discussed this off thread quite a bit, a product easy to apply with a clean look that provides good protection is an ideal product for the interior of a enclosure.

Pouring bar top epoxy requires prep work. Many Paints don't provide the protection and ease of cleaning. Laminate's always leave a seam. To me this product seams to meet them all on a middle ground. I bet damaged area's can be retouched...another plus.

I'm about this close to ordering a can. Maybe just a color palette...

Unfortunatly and Chris can atest this, i have no time to do any experiments at the moment.

Cheers
