Re: [ATM] painting plywood

[<nfnik-atmlist3@yahoo.com>]

It's a bit expensive, but I lilke spray epoxy for
marine grade/premium grade plywood.

-it penetrates into the wood nicely and seals very
well.
-it has a nice glossy finish without looking like
there are 50 coats of varnish. that is, the paint
surface is right there on the wood rather than built
up over it.
-it is nigh on to indestructable (side effect of
having no thick layer of paint above the wood???).
-very easy to work with in terms of smooth, drip free
coats.
