Hi, I just use a 35 dollar capacitor tester about every 6 months on every capacitor on Kimberlite. I always find a few that are low or too low to be operational. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel

Hi , Did you do the dollar bill test on the refrigerator door seal? Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Thanks James. I have found that thinks coats don't cure well Ben Ben and Gayle La Bella Vita SM #3476S

Bill - Thank you. That is very kind of you! I will certainly look at the schedule and touch base with you if that seems feasible. Thanks again. James

Ben, We have had problems using accelerators in single part paints and varnishes since they tend to cause early crazing and failure of the finish. As far as paint viscosity, in general I have found

Hi Bill K Point taken. I think accelerator would be last resort My last chemistry class was nearly 50 years ago as an undergrad and I was not a stellar student. But my first and most fun job was

Thanks Bill. I think I'll forego the flattener as well Ben Driver La Bella Vita SM #3476S On Jul 13, 2017, at 5:43 PM, 'Bill & Judy Rouse' yahoogroups@... [amelyachtowners] <amelyachtowners@...>

Hi Ben, I'm using Interlux Brightside one step polyurethane with just a tiny bit of thinner. It works great in the Beugler tool. I did purchase flattening agent but am only using it for the touch up

Hi Ben, We just painted the rubbing strake on our Santorin Liesse using single part poly paint and the flattening additive, applied 3 coats by brush, since we changed the color and no drips but it
