Thank you Bill -- this is a good explanation, and is a good basis for any further product research.

: Pettit Easy-Poxy even though it's a modern style paint handles much more like
: tradional paints allowing one to modify it's nature with their various
: thinners to match the climate it's being used in. It also holds up
: extremely well. The Interlux version is much thinner to start with and
: thus you don't want to thin it, but if it's too thin for the weather you
: can't change it's properties.

: Still, I'll use the Interlux if they have the color I need.

: Price is very comparable.

: Not prejudiced in any way against Interlux, for large areas I much prefer
: their varnishes.

: Bill H.
