Shine ALEXSEAL?

Post by TomW »

Joel have you ever heard of Alexseal paints. They are from a German Company who also has a lab in St. Louis. Mankiewicz Gebr is the parent company. The paint is almost exactly like Sterling with paint, catalyst and reducer. Also has a flattening agent and accelerator. Website is http://www.alexseal.com. Received there color chart and info Saturday and more diverse colors than Sterling. Not as many shades in some areas more in others.

First saw the paint at Hamilton Marine Supplies. Prices are less than Sterling but more than Perfection.

Curious of any and all knowledge of this paint and how it applies compared to Sterling since they say it is for roll and tip & beats all other paints in color and gloss retention.

Thanks Joel thought I would ask, maybe some our European builders can help me out if they have used it.

I just ran into the Alexseal rep at the Newport Boat show. He said it was developed by the same guy who created AwlGrip.
There is an article here

For application over epoxy, he said it was 2 steps. They also have a reducer for roll and tip.
