TESTING Waterborne 2k POLY TOPCOAT..what is it exactly?

[David Ruhland]

Been practicing up a storm with my turbine system (fujispray Q5) just purchased the 3mPPS system for it awaiting its arrival....

An Amish friend (cabinet maker) turned me on to a topcoat called ILVA WB WHITE 2k POLY TOPCOAT it is fast drying, good coverage, sprays beautifully SELF LEVELING and can be tinted.

He says its a Urethane, but from i read and understand from the Tech Sheet its simply a Poly... Do you agree....

For you BM addicts out there..Anything in the Lenmar lineup that is equivalent that you know of?

Based on the description, it sounds like an acrylic very similar to Target Coatings products plus their crosslinker rather than a true "2K" type urethane which is a whole 'nuther animal. But I could certainly be wrong about that.

I read it as saying the product can be used w/o catalyst/hardener (they seem to use the words interchangeably which is strange) or with one of two catalysts for "slightly improved" performance. To me, that's not the same as a true 2K poly, where the addition of catalyst is mandatory.

I'm not aware of any Lenmar WB 2K poly products, but Chem Craft has one.
