They were bulletproof: epoxy was for chemical and mechanical resistance; polyurethane for UV resistance (epoxy will 'chalk' in sunlight). All in titanium white.:cool:
Quick search of their site was no-joy on the epoxy - maybe discontinued, or renamed? Poly is still available. Excellent products!
Mr. Thompson, I am not promoting this for use on your porch, rather just anecdotal endorsement of the brand. But.... if you want the be$t, $-W Indu$trial Coating$ will get you there.:eek:
