: Is Wearlon flexible enough to be used as a skin boat coating?? We
: are always looking for something new and better than the various
: coatings we use now.

I don't know. I do know the Wearlon Wetlander coating I have on my boats flexes well with the impacts quite a bit. But I also know that most epoxies become too brittle for substantial flexing. However, the Wearlon Wetander is characterized as being an epoxy-silicone so the silicone part may make it very flexible. Not sure. Go to www.airboatcoatings.com and contact... Scott is his name.
